This is a problem. No user should ever be able to su to another user without
having to supply a password. If I read this correctly, you are saying that
any
user on your Linux machines can su to any other user without a password - if
so, there is something seriously broken in your setup. Check your PAM
configuration and the credentials on your NIS+ server for your Linux
clients.

This will work (if you do it properly), but will become harder to administer
as you add more users, more Linux clients and possibly more servers (ie. it
won't scale very well).

I don't understand what either of these "tests" are actually trying to solve
in the context of your initial problem with NFS to the Linux machines.
 
Please be aware that this issue has almost nothing to do with NIS+ (and so,
rightly, shouldn't live on this list). It is a pure NFS permissions problem.
 
My recommendation, in the first instance, is to revoke root access to your
Linux users (ie. change the root password and don't allow them to log in as
root). There are still many ways for people to thwart the NFS security
issue,
but at least they will then need to be determined and hence possibly draw
attention to themselves.
 
Cheers,
 
Bob Edwards.
