    I've thought of switching my environment over to LDAP, but I've been
    unable to find anything like NIS netgroups implemented with LDAP. Are
    you saying that there is some mechanism for this now?

    I'd love to switch over to LDAP, but I'm currently limiting access to
    certain classes of machines to certain classes of users....with NIS
    netgroup. I've heard of people using LDAP along side NIS (just to serve
    the netgroup map), but I'd rather have all the functionality in one system.
