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.
