The nis package that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
has a couple of problems:
* ypserv allowed any machine in the NIS domain to insert new
tables
* rpc.yppasswd had a bufferoverflow in its MD5 code
* rpc.yppasswd allowed users to change the GECOS and loginshell
entries of other users

This has been fixed in version 3.5-2. We recommend you upgrade
your nis package immediately.

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
