It sounds like the libc doesn't support NIS. I believe login under 3.0.3
is still staticly linked, which would explain why users could log in and
not get into netatalk, look for an updated libc on redhats site or one that
you know has NIS support. You can always get the libc source and compile
it too. You should not need to recompile netatalk after upgrading.
