17 Googling, it's quickly apparent the NIS part was right.

23 Most of the first couple pages of hits anyway look to be to AIX
24 documentation. Correction. There are 43 initial hits, out of 155 if all
25 are displayed. Of the 43, nearly /all/ of them appear to be AIX docs hits.

27 That should get you pointed in the right direction. If the command had
28 been ported to Linux, one might expect at least /some/ of those hits to be
29 Linux based. Since they all or almost all look AIX based, I'd guess the
30 command itself isn't available on Linux, perhaps because there's a
31 different command that does the same thing, there?
