Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Un L'Unique (Un@grolier.Fr) had the courage to say:
: Hello,

: I got problem using NIS/yp on FreeBSD with solaris server.

: ypbin run, and NIS-UID are correctly recognise as shown by a ls on an
: nfs directory. Byt login with a nis-user are  impossible unless
: I provide an empty passwd.

: - NIS are currecntly not using shadow fueature (I am in the test stage).
: - I suspect FreeBSD to use MD5 passwd or somthing wich are not DES as
: contrary of NIS passwd.

Yes, you need to install the DES package. Go to a non-US FTP site
and download it.

: How can I found the solution and/or test this two point ?

Install the DES package and you'll be okay.

-Bill
