Only Solaris runs NIS+. Digital systems don't know NIS+. The closest you can
come is run your NIS+ server in NIS mode and connect up your Digital systems as
NIS clients of your NIS+/NIS server.

                        well, maybe: gibianm@hanscom.af.mil
              and if all else fails: marc.gibian@acm.org

As far as I know, only Sun has ever shipped a NIS+ implementation. Ergo,
your Digital boxes cannot be NIS+ clients.
