Which OS and which software module has Secction 5.2 functions implemented ?

I have done a degree of NIS replacement (passwd, group and automount
entries) using the Fedora Core Linux operating system as both the client
and the server. The LDAP server I used was OpenLDAP.
The functions in section 5.2 are normally implemented in the standard
libc library. On Fedora Core that is glibc, and the implementation uses
the files /etc/nsswitch.conf to determine which directory to use to
lookup information: files, NIS, LDAP, etc. For authentication you may
also need to configure the PAM system to use LDAP. Fedora Core provides
a utility called system-config-authentication that has a simple GUI for
configuring these systems.
Support on other operating systems and libc implementations will vary,
you should contact the vendors or appropriate support groups for those
operating systems.

The other tricky thing is determining what level of RFC 2307 support
the OS has - the old 2307, the 2307 without the automount information,
and the new 2307bis with the public key and automount information. We
should try to put together a matrix of OS and server support for this.<br>
