It might not be as bad as you think. You can build your passwd files from a 'header' section and something pulled by ldapsearch or a script that accesses ldap itself to generate the rest. The flat file isn't used for handling authentication, spwd.db and pwd.db are used instead. > Why openbsd does not support "first look up ldap server for both > username and password, then use local password file" ? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you need nsswitch and/or PAM for that type of thing, neither of which are in OpenBSD.
