Look this mesg i saw while reading NIS HOWTO:

.....
Forgot this all if you use the new GNU C Library 2.x (aka libc6). It has
real NSS (name switch service) support, which
makes it very flexible, and contains support for the following NIS/NIS+
maps: aliases, ethers, group, hosts, netgroups,
networks, protocols, publickey, passwd, rpc, services and shadow. The
GNU C Library has no problems with shadow
passwords over NIS.




WHERE CAN I GET LIBC6 ? What shoul i do to see my libc version ?


PLEASE.
