But not totally yet. But yes, the client side seems to be done.

The next release of the nis package will be broken into seperate packages-
ypserv, ypbind and nis-tools. These will be the packages from
www-vt.uni-paderborn.de. However I don't know anything about NIS+, so
maybe we should keep NIS and NIS+ seperate?
Anyway, if you're going to do anything, please contact me so that we
can coordinate this.
