Lots of us would like something like nsswitch, but none of us want an

fairly easy to delegate getpw* and getgr* via a local unix domain
socket (which works nicely for chroot apps too), but there are some
subleties especially around fallback behaviour.
To my knowledge, one person (Eric Alata, search the misc@ and tech@
archives) has looked at this and has started by writing a better LDAP
client API than openldap's, but IIRC he is tied up completing his
thesis.
And what about hesiod ? Was it ever considered to be included ?
