I don't know what this means, especially in the context of your
previous statement that said, "I see the NFS mounts listed though".
So, I will ignore that part.

Try this:
grep passwd /etc/nsswitch.conf
grep group /etc/nsswitch.conf
grep shadow /etc/nsswitch.conf
It's quite possible you have some shared library being used to
provide a name service via the NSS mechanism and the library
isn't functioning properly, perhaps because of a bad configuration
file, network problems, or maybe bad permissions on some file.
For example, it is possible to look in LDAP for user accounts,
and if you are using NSS for this, you have to have some configuration
files set up to tell it which LDAP servers to use and how to bind
to them. But of course it could be some other name service instead
of LDAP as well.
Another possibility is that you have some problems with the PAM
system. I haven't ever looked deeply into PAM, but it is also
involved in this process, so it could easily be the problem.

I think a better question is how to solve your problem with
users in general. It doesn't seem like it is specific to the
oracle user.
Also, I almost forgot: make sure /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and
so on don't have any syntax errors.
