 The relevant section is:
 
   4387   4387 passwd   CALL  open(0x7c7c5901242f,0,0x1b6)
   4387   4387 passwd   NAMI  "/etc/passwd.conf"
   4387   4387 passwd   RET   open 3
   4387   4387 passwd   CALL  __fstat50(3,0x7f7fff9fbf60)
   4387   4387 passwd   RET   __fstat50 0
   4387   4387 passwd   CALL  read(3,0x7c7c59b95e00,0x8000)
   4387   4387 passwd   GIO   fd 3 read 159 bytes
        "#	$NetBSD: passwd.conf,v 1.4 2021/10/26 20:44:45 nia Exp $\n#\n# passwd.conf(5) -\n#	password configuration file\n#\n\ndefault:\n	local\
 	cipher = sha1\n	ypcipher = sha1\n"
   4387   4387 passwd   RET   read 159/0x9f
   4387   4387 passwd   CALL  close(3)
   4387   4387 passwd   RET   close 0
 
 and it shows that the file is properly read and has this content:
 
 ---8<---
 #       $NetBSD: passwd.conf,v 1.4 2021/10/26 20:44:45 nia Exp $
 #
 # passwd.conf(5) -
 #       password configuration file
 #
 
 default:
         local cipher = sha1
         ypcipher = sha1
 --->8---
 
 
 I am not sure if sha1 is useable for your NIS setup (or if that is involved
 at all).
