Authentication with kerberos

I set up a kerberos server with nis and using
system-config-authentication I set NIS for user information
and kerberos for authentication. I set up a principle user1
and was able to log in using the kerberos password. But user2
was set up with the intention of only being a local user on the
kerberos server but user2 can log into other systems via the NIS
password. Is there someway of making a system use NIS only for
the user information and not allow it to use the passwords over NIS.
