    SYSTEM = "compat"
    That is the default, this will first look for NIS, and if it doesn't find it, it will use local files. The default is local files unless you have added a + sign to the /etc/passwd file.

    Next look to make sure the user exists in /etc/passwd, /etc/security/passwd, and /etc/security/user.

    In the /etc/security/usr file look for things like account_locked, login= false, etc. That should be the key.
