Description

There are several places in the getpublickey(3nsl) man page where NIS+ left. NIS+ should be removed from the man page.

         o    NIS map  ``publickey.byname''  or  the  NIS+  table
              ``cred.org_dir''.   The  sources  and  their lookup
              order are specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
              See nsswitch.conf(4).
WARNINGS
     If getpublickey() gets the public key from any source  other
     than  NIS+,  all  authenticated NIS+ operations may fail. To
     ensure that this does not happen, edit the  nsswitch.conf(4)
     file to make sure that the public key is obtained from NIS+.

  NOTES
     NIS+ might not  be  supported  in  future  releases  of  the
     Solaris  operating  system.  Tools to aid the migration from
     NIS+ to LDAP are available in the current  Solaris  release.
     For            more            information,            visit
     http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.

In addition, the following man pages contains word "nisplus": newkey(1m), lpset(1m), keyserv(1m), dhcpconfig(1m), nsswitch.conf(4), bootparams(4), dhcpsvc.conf(4), group(4), prof_attr(4), auth_attr(4), passwd(1), chkey(1), keylogout(1), keylogin(1), login(1), getpublickey(3nsl), getgrnam(3c), getpwnam(3c), and sharemgr(1m). There is also bunch of man pages containing "NIS+". We should review all of such man pages and remove "nisplus" and "NIS+" from them eventually.
