Linux NIS+ Support: glibc

The NIS+ support for glibc 2.x was written from scratch from me. The complete NIS+ API and all necessary functions for the glibc NSS interface are implemented. DES authentication for NIS+ (secure level 2) works. If your distribution comes with glibc 2.1.3 or later (like SuSE Linux 6.4 or Red Hat Linux 7), you don't need to install a new version.

The first official glibc version with working NIS+ was the 2.1.3 release.
