Well I only received one response asking why I was using NIS+ to begin with.
I did however figure out how to do mass changes on NIS+ tables. You simply
dump the table into a flat file
nisaddent -d 'tablename' > filename
make your changes and then replace the table
nisaddent -rvf 'filename' 'tablename'
Also cred is made up of publickey and netid. To update the cred table you need
to dump and edit these 2 files.
