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.
