There is no support for making an NIS/NIS+ map/table out of
the sudoers file at this time. A good way to distribute the
sudoers file is via rdist(1). It is also possible to NFS-mount
the sudoers file.

Hi,
For giving sudo access you need to have users entry in sudoers file. Though most of the documentation say it is /etc/sudoers, in my HPUX system file is located at /var/opt/sudo/sudoers (dont know why!!). Following link may give you more idea.
http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/man/sudoers.html

I need to check few things, in the case of NIS user who is logged in and want to invoke sudo. Will get back.

Regarding ssh access I dont have much idea.

I just confirmed it !!
If you are a NIS user then can't invoke sudo, because sudo use standard libc getpw* routines.

One work around I could suggest is to create a local group in /etc/group (eg:sudouser) and add the required NIS users to that group. Then go and allow sudo access to this group by putting an entry for that group in sudoers file.

Hope this help you solve your issue.

typical sudoers entry will look like
= ,

in our case you can put
%sudouser ALL = /usr/bin/rmdir, /usr/bin/mkdir

All users in group sudouser is allowed to execute /usr/bin/rmdir and /usr/bin/mkdir on all machines.

I have added the NIS user in /etc/sudoers file works fine
