Could you post the contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf ? This should have settings for kerberos and NIS.

Make sure you used adduser first

#services: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#networks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#protocols: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#rpc: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#ethers: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#netmasks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

ethers: files
netmasks: files
networks: files
protocols: files nis
rpc: files
services: files nis

netgroup: files nis

publickey: nisplus

automount: files nis
aliases: files nisplus



this is my /etc/nss.conf file iam still not able to login

You should have passwd, group, and shadow entries in there as well.
