There is one for Linux. I don't know how complete it is, but it is a 
starting point. The package is called NYS for Nis+, Yp and switch code, 
i.e. it does about the same as the nsswitch code for netbsd. All the nis+ 
functions are in a separate directory. It is available from 
ftp.lysator.liu.se:/pub/NYS.
