   This link looks wrong.

 1) be using the same crypt libraries on client and server
 2) add +:::::::::: entry into client master.passwd (use vipw)
 3) make sure NIS domain is set right (sounds like you did this)

I'm not sure about AIX 3.2.5, but you should have libcrypt.a and libcrypt.so.2.0 
both linked to the same encryption set.  Try changing your shared object to
point to the DES libs as well.  Here are the links I use.
