debian 2.0 as a NIS+ client

[Gilbert Laycock <gtl1@mcs.le.ac.uk>]

Is it possible to use a debian2 machine as a NIS+ client? I have many
machines running as ordinary NIS clients, so I know that is not a
problem.

I had a (rather brief) look at the site
  http://www-vt.uni-paderborn.de/~kukuk/linux/nisplus.html
(mentioned in /usr/doc/libc6-doc/FAQ), and I get the impression from
there that a patched version of a newer (non-stable) version of glibc2
is required. But perhaps that is just for a NIS+ server (which I don't 
need)? 

Does anybody have any experience with this?
