Is it possible to use two networked databases at the same time in 
nsswitch.conf? I've got a client machine using an existing NIS database 
in nsswitch. I'd like to add additional entries to the passwd database 
so that I can provide sshd access to a mercurial repository for a large 
number of accounts. These entries would be provided by an ldap server on 
a different host. Essentially, I would like to modify my existing 
NIS-based nsswitch with "passwd: files nis ldap". I was able to get ldap 
to work via ldapclient but when I turn on the NIS client back on, I get 
this error in the log:

[ Mar 19 07:44:22 Enabled. ]
[ Mar 19 07:44:22 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/yp"). ]
/lib/svc/method/yp: /var/yp/binding/tools.sfbay.sun.com is not a directory
[ Mar 19 07:44:22 Method "start" exited with status 96. ]

Any ideas?

It doesn't seem to be possible to use two LDAP backends, but it may be 
possible to have an LDAP server both provide LDAP and NIS entries. Has 
anyone gotten something like this to work?
