chuser with NIS???

HI,
I need to be able to give a non-root user the ability to do FIFO (First In, First Out) scheduling and use high-res timers.

Normally when working in a standalone environment (local user account) I can give this ability by using the chuser command.
ie. chuser "capabilities=CAP_NUMA_ATTCH,CAP_PROPAGATE" username
However I am working in a NIS environment

From what I read in the IBM documentation it says... "Attention: Do not use the chuser command if you have a Network Information Service (NIS) database installed on your system."

Question 1) "(NIS) database installed on your system." The machine is not the master only a NIS cleint, does that matter?

Question 2) is there another way to apply these abilites?

Additional Information:
System Type: IBM,7998-61X JS22 Blade
Processor: PowerPC_POWER6
CPU/Kernel Type: 64-bit
OS Level: 6100-02-02-0849
