Does "id nisuser" or "finger nisuser" work?

Do you have "passwd: files nis" /etc/nsswitch.conf, or "passwd: compat"
plus a "+::0:0:::" record in /etc/passwd?

Blank out a user's password and see if he can log in, to verify that
DES vs MD5 is really the problem.

Try running "ypmatch nisuser passwd" and paste the output into the
Linux passwd file and see if nisuser can log in.

Also make sure you're running ypbind-1.8 or higher on the Linux box. 
Earlier versons have a very hard time staying bound to a server.
