We've switched from NIS+ to the Solaris NIS software known as NISKit
(version 1.2). It is now shipped with the Solaris 2.5 CDs (but
this version works on 2.4). For all the details see:
http://sunsolve1.sun.com/private-cgi/info2html?infodoc/11989
NISKit allows us to have "true" NIS servers on Solaris which can
perform ypxfr to specified non-Sun YP slave servers.
