I emerged webmin and then tried to have the webmin featurette go and get 
.. err DBM::NIS I believe. It didn't build, but, I think thats's a perl 
thing.

You can probably find a portage entry for whatever DMB::NIS would come 
under and emerge it, else use that perl -CPAN -e shell thing.

I hadn't used Webmin bye-the-bye... why does nobody shout about these 
highly useful tools from the rooftops?

Maybe I've just been sleeping under a rock on the darks side of the moon !
