Thats part of later phases of the NWAM project - phase 0 doesn't include this.
I'm also the author of a script called netprof that did exactly this, there is also inetmenu (which is very similar to netprof) that does this too and it is available from the laptop community.

folks have *really* good firewalls and you are really cautious at home, plain NIS is notoriously insecure. Do you make sure there is not a cached copy of the NIS password file when you leave work?].
Solaris doesn't actually cache the NIS password file locally only entries from it are cached in the memory of nscd while it is running. My netprof and inetmenu both explicitly restart nscd when switching profiles, and even if they didn't nscd will restart itself if it notices that any of /etc/passwd or /etc/nsswitch.conf change.
So I don't have a suitable kernel booted, you folks tell me, with the demise of vold does automountd now handle removable media?
No automountd doesn't (though you can with scripting executable automount maps make it do so) the Tamarack project delivered HAL and both a GNOME and CLI replacement for vold.
