In /etc/nsswitch.conf  on the master,  do you have:

passwd:     files
shadow:     files
group:       files

and on the clients, it should be

passwd:    nisplus nis files
shadow:    nisplus nis files
group:      nisplus nis files

Also, I assume you have preserved the same domain as before the update to fc11??

Cheers,

MK
