relative to login_ldap and ypldap?

login_ldap is fine. The problem seems to be getting user info.
Instead of ypldap I would prefer the system to direct contact the ldap
servers to get user info similar the way nss does, and not using NIS as
an extra layer for ldap.
Looking around getpwent(3) I think it might be possible to extent it's
functionality to include ldap support as well. Furthermore ypldap's
functions (aldap ...) could be used for this (just the bind/search part).
Does this make any sense or am I missing something vital here?
