The test workstation is getting its password and group info 
from NIS.

The test workstation is running Red Hat Linux, but the NIS 
server is running HPUX 11i.

I believe these are the entries causing the errors:

lancaster:/etc > ypcat passwd | grep '-'
nobody:*:-2:-2::/:

lancaster:/etc > ypcat group | grep '-'
nogroup:*:-2:

Can you post the relevant part of /etc/passwd and /etc/group?
