In the /etc/passwd file on the NIS master, the user's home directory would be: /home/user01. Since the home directories are not being served out, it must be local to the machine (unless I'm missing something). Then on each system that is in the NIS domain that 'user01' can log into, make the directory /home/user01 with proper ownership, copy any login scripts required and have that directory owned by that user's UID/GID.
