I havn't tried the Linux version (NYS), but basically NIS+ is a way to
manage /etc/hosts, /etc/passwd, /etc/services, and more in a large
environment. It's a distributed database that can be centrally
administered. 

For those other files you mentions, rdist would be a good candidate for
managing them.
