Personally, I suspect the OP has a specific interest in implementing NIS. Through NIS, OpenBSD can obtain the information it would otherwise get from the password file (i.e. user entries). IIRC, there is no alternative 'nsswitch-like' tool available for OpenBSD. If I'm wrong on this, feel free to correct me (you'd make me happy). As nice a tool as login_ldap may be, it still requires you to add such entries, limiting scalability. Unfortunately, I do not know of an LDAP-based NIS working on OpenBSD, so this probably isn't too much help to the OP either. Sorry for wasting the bandwidth.
