An alternative to nss_ldap using an ldap based NIS/YP server. This is a UNIX daemon providing NIS services with a modular backend interface. The current focus is the development of an LDAP module for the backend data source. This daemon was (and is being written) in order to migrate a large install base of UNIX systems utilizing NIS to an LDAP based solution, eventually facilititing a migration of all corporate services that rely on similar data to LDAP. This (and future) LDAP related tools are being released under the BSD License (with advertising clause). Please understand that the project is, at best, a beta. There is no documentation yet.
