What NIS maps are necessary for OSX 10.6 to authenticate?

I have an ubuntu-sever sharing NIS, and from the OSX client, ypcat passwd, ypcat group and (as root) ypcat shadow.byname all work, and return the correct info.

If I type groups kyle (a user in NIS, but not on the local machine), I get all the correct group information.

The only thing that doesn't work, is logging in.

(And yes, if I point an ubuntu box to that NIS server, everything authenticates off of it just fine).
