As far as I know, there is no Linux implementation of the NIS+ server.
The NIS+ client code works well with a Solaris server. You can run
the Solaris server on an Intel box (I haven't done this). There is
also, apparently, a NIS+ server implementation available for FreeBSD,
again, I haven't used this.

If you aren't working in a Solaris environment, I advise you to steer
clear of NIS+. Authenticated LDAP, Kerberos and other mechanisms have
much better support across multiple platforms.
