The problem most likely stems from the fact that the filesystem I am
writing to is on an NFS disk --- the exact same programs don't give
this error when copied to a local filesystem.

whose name is listed via NIS, he is immediately refused entry before
prompting for a passwor

account defined on another NIS machine, however, I cannot ftp into
this same stable Debian release machine. How can I fix this problem?

I just downloaded the stable Debian (Jan 1997) release and installed

However, upon reboot or manual running of the network
