I just read that libc.3.0.so is included in 2.1.6.

I had once trouble with elm complaining about an unknown user (myself :-)
when I noticed I had linked it against 3.0. With libc-2.2 it worked well.
Could you try using su/login from 2.1.5 ?
(This was on a 2.1.5 NIS client with the NIS server on a 2.1 system.)

I saw the same symptoms. Ypmatch, ls, .. ok, but elm failed.
