Ok, but I hav two separate problem:
What are the name of this pakage, how Can I install it in an existent
system
?

I am starting to user C2 nis, so I get something like that:
>ypcat passwd
goncalve:##goncalve:4010:4002::/home/goncalve:/bin/sh
turland:##turland:4011:4002::/home/turland:/bin/sh
untest:##untest:4014:10:Test diver pour Un:/home/untest:/bin/bash
oracle:##oracle:4000:10::/home/oracle:/bin/bash
etc...
Does this mean that I can't use C2 nis on FreeBSD and that I nee to go
back to 
nis ( and its security hole) ?
