The NIS server is running AIX 3.2.5
I can ypcat passwd no problem.  An ls of NFS mounted directories 
translates the uids and gids properly.  The only problem is with NIS 
users logging in.

These are all the crypt libraries I have.  libdescrypt.a was the result 
of compiling the secrdist.  I have tried linking libcrypt.a to 
libdescrypt.a with no results.

lrwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin     11 Jul 19 15:38 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libscrypt.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin     16 Jul 19 15:38 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 -> libscrypt.so.2.0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin     15 Jul 19 15:38 /usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a -> libdescrypt_p.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin   6068 Jul 19 15:36 /usr/lib/libdescrypt.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin   7226 Jul 19 15:36 /usr/lib/libdescrypt_p.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin   4576 Jun 10 09:47 /usr/lib/libscrypt.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin  bin  12755 Jun 10 09:47 /usr/lib/libscrypt.so.2.0

As I said, everything to do with NIS seems to work *except* logins.  What
steps must I perform to allow my 2.0.5 box to be an NIS client with an AIX
3.2.5 server? 

Thanks
