NetBSD-current has a NIS server, so will NetBSD-1.3.
You yould be able to backport it to 1.2.1, but you will need to recompile
your libc. For that you need (I think, I didn't try):
src/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h
src/include/rpcsvc/ypclnt.h
src/lib/libc/yp
src/lib/libc/yp/*
src/lib/librpcsvc/yp.x
src/lib/librpcsvc/yppasswd.x
src/usr.bin/passwd
src/usr.bin/ypcat
src/usr.bin/ypmatch
src/usr.bin/ypwhich
src/usr.sbin/rpc.yppasswdd
src/usr.sbin/ypbind
src/usr.sbin/yppoll
src/usr.sbin/ypserv
src/usr.sbin/ypset
NetBSD-current is available from ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current
and various mirrors.
