Howdy,
I setup a test NIS domain that i'd like to test the home automounting feature so basically i done this;
-Setup the NIS server and domain, make changes on Makefile to include auto.master, auto.home -had the client successfully connected to new NIS domain.
on NIS/NFS server i added this on /etc/auto.master file;
/home /etc/auto.home
on /etc/auto.home i have this;
* nfsserver:/home
Now my problem is, how would i force/setup the client that it would use the auto{master,home} files on NIS server rather than using the locally same files, pointers and correction greatly appreciated.

Just an educated guess here (never tried).
Try changing the "automount" line on /etc/nsswitch.conf to:
automount: nis files
or maybe even:
automount: nis
