FWIW, the Unix System Administrators Handbook (Evi Nemeth, ISBN 0-13-020601-6) has a section on NIS that covers Red Hat. There is also a newer version of the book called Linux Admiistrators Handbook which covers Red Hat, Suse, and Debian. Not as in depth as the O'Reilly book but a good overview/big picture. g
