If you're wanting to use NIS, you will need netgroup... are both systems members of the same NIS domain? Are you initializing the maps with ypinit -m on the master server? Are you running all essential daemons on both machines (namely, ypserv, ypxfrd and ypbind on the master server and ypbind on the client server(s))?
