I'm sorry, but this is not a user support forum.  You should probably refer
to /usr/share/doc/nis/NEWS.Debian.gz in the 22.04 version of the nis package
which explains what changes the Debian maintainer has made and how users are
expected to configure/use the packages in the new version.  Failing that,
you can try asking on https://askubuntu.com.  However, these packages are
pass-through from Debian, not anything that is actively maintained by the
Ubuntu community, so your mileage may vary as far as support is concerned.
