Solaris Nis Client

I have a Solaris 8 workstation bound to a Linux NIS server. When I issue any yp commands they all come back with the correct responses. I can su - to a user account and the automount for the home will attach. The problem is, I can not log in from the Solaris login window as a nis user I get "Invalid password". Local users can log in fine. Do Solaris and linux have a conflict with the way they interpret the shadow files?
