I am not sure that lookupd has been used or tested or shaken down

However, if you really want nscd, I'd imagine that you ought to be
able to hunt that down from Sun now that the source code for
Solaris 10 is openly available...?
What about caching, as he asked originally? If a laptop user
"walks away" from the network where the LDAP or NIS server is
located, will it cache auth info so the user can still get in?
For a while, and the timeouts for caching stuff are adjustable. That
being said, laptop users are going to do much better if their
specific UID/GID are added to the local flatfiles. Integrating
laptops to work while connected and while not connected is a
relatively hard problem.
