NIS Setup Issue

Hello all,
 
I'm trying to set up a test NIS domain with a single server and a single
client.  As far as I can tell, the setup was performed properly.  On
either the client or the server, I can run 'ypwhich' and they return the
server.  I can run 'ypcat passwd' and it will return my NIS passwd map.

 
However, if I try to 'su' to one of my NIS users on either machine, it
returns 'No such user'.  I can't log in using any of my NIS users
either.
 
nsswitch.conf has been set to 'nis files' for passwd, shadow, and
groups.  
 
Clearly I've missed some setting somewhere, but I can't figure out
where.  Any ideas?
