I have made some progress on my problem, however I don't feel any closer to a solution than before!
I have been able to eliminate NIS as a possible problem. This seems to be more of a authentication issue with login itself. Here's what I did:
*) first, I took the NIS entry (ypmatch user passwd) && placed it into /etc/passwd.
*) shut off NIS. finger the username to verify that the local passwd entry is valid.
*) I tried to login but was still getting password failures.
*) I then ran a crypt perl script & changed the encrypted passwd (passwd is timecard)
*) I tried to login & was successful! I could login.
*) I ran the crypt perl script again & changed the encrypted passwd (passwd is motivation)
*) I tried to login & failed with a password incorrect again.
# ./crypt.pl timecard

# ./crypt.pl motivation
