Question linux redhat and solaris NIS+

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone had success with installing a redhat linux (PC box) on a Solaris NIS+ network. I have gotten information on how to do this but have been unsuccessful. The information that I have gotten is a little out dated and is not 100%.
(http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/NIS-HOWTO/ ).

Therefore if anyone was successful, can you please me? THANKS
