yp2ldap
-------
This is a Perl script that symlinks to ypwhich, ypcat and ypmatch.  It is a
hook script that returns the results you would have expected from NIS, but
uses LDAP instead to obtain the results.

It uses Kerberos, so you must have Kerberos authentication set-up and you
should already have a ticket available (run kinit).

The following files are used by yp2ldap:

bin/ypcat	symlink that invokes ypcat behaviour.
bin/ypmatch	symlink that invokes ypmatch behaviour.
bin/ypwhich	symlink that invokes ypwhich behaviour.
etc/nicknames	provides NIS map nicknames and their full map name,
                and is identical to the standard NIS nicknames file.
etc/ldap.conf	provides the URI to use when contacting LDAP (uri <uri>),
                if this file does not exist will look in /etc/ldap.conf,
                can be overridden by the YP2LDAP_CONF environment variable.
etc/example.com	some example map configuration files for a hypothetical
                NIS domain called 'example.com':
    - map            top-level map
    - autofs         name and locations of automounter maps
    - network        name and locations of various network-related maps
    - nss            name of maps that use NSS instead (via the getent command)

The yp2ldap tool has been tested on RHEL 5 and obtains the NIS domain name
from /etc/sysconfig/network.  The corresponding map files are then looked
up in the etc/<domain> directory.  Examples provided for 'example.com'.

The tool will also look in /etc/defaultdomain for a NIS domain name, so should
work ok in Solaris.

The 'etc' directory is located using the following search order:
    - YP2LDAP_ETCDIR environment variable
    - TOPDIR/etc/yp2ldap
    - TOPDIR/etc
