NIS/yp ported?


I'm just curious - I have a function that I use on Unix to do basically a ypcat passwd | grep -i $@. It's very useful in looking up users especially since ore and more corporations use anonymous numbers or IDs to represent people. But I have to log into the Unix system to do it.

I was wondering if there was a cygwin port of NIS or YP so that I could do this ypcat from within Cygwin.
