Install NIS packages
```
apt -y install nis
```
During installation mention correct NIS domain as setup on master node.

Add below line in '/etc/yp.conf' file

domain  <private-domain>       server  master

Add nis based resolution for various databases in '/etc/nsswitch.conf' file such as:

passwd:         files systemd nis
group:          files systemd nis
shadow:         files nis
hosts:          files dns

Add below line in common-session ile

vim /etc/pam.d/common-session
session optional pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=007

Restart NIS server and check whether user1 is visible in passwd database or not
```
systemctl restart nis
getent passwd
```

For some reason any new user login is not working on client until system is rebooted. This issue needs to be debugged.
