+[A24] The glibc NIS+ implementation uses a /var/nis/NIS_COLD_START
+ file for storing information about the NIS+ server and their
+ public keys, because the nis.conf file do not contain all
+ necessary information. You have to copy a NIS_COLD_START file
+ from a Solaris client (the NIS_COLD_START file is byte order
+ independend) or generate it new with nisinit from the nis-tools
+ (look at http://www-vt.uni-paderborn.de/~kukuk/linux/nisplus.html).
