nis+ client status?

[Stuart Marshall <stuart@igpp.ucllnl.org>]

Hi Folks,

I would like to run some debian machines as nis+ clients.
Is this possible?  The NIS howto is old and unclear to me.

Thorsten Kukuk's suse website for nisplus

 http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/nisplus/index.html

indicates that some some additional tools and tweaking to the
pam system are needed.

I found /usr/lib/libnss_nisplus.so as part of the libc6-dev pkg
but don't know what else is needed.

Is anybody out there doing/working on this?

thanks,
Stuart

PS.  I tried to send to debian-user but it was returned from
webmaster@my.netvigator.com with subject:
 "recipient email storage limit exceeded"
