NIS+ support in general can be found at
http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/nisplus/, but it's not an easy task to install
(at least on RedHat it's not). You'll have to fiddle with the PAM
entries a bit, to get thinks working properly.
There is also a debianized version available at
deb http://www.realbodo.de/ debian/
deb-src http://www.realbodo.de/ debian/
but I haven't played with that. Chances are, it works quite well out of
the box.
Good luck,
Viktor
