The majority answer is use rdist. NIS can't propagate openwin menus.
Stephan Deutsch suggests fsp from ftp.Germany.EU.net.
Benoit Lefebvre suggests a PD package and sent the source. I have not
checked it out yet, but I will.
John Benjamins suggests rdist and sent a sample Distfile - many thanks for that.
