nisplus backend support

[David M. Davisson]

We are using NIS+ also.  We have written a shell hack using AdminSuite to sync
passwords.  I would like to see more NIS+ support.  But if LDAP becomes more
robust we might consider the change.  Right now we are using NIS+ for a common
password database that is used across remote NT domains.
