yptransitd

Replacement for nss_ldap

An alternative to nss_ldap using an ldap based NIS/YP server. This is a UNIX daemon providing NIS services with a modular backend interface. The current focus is the development of an LDAP module for the backend data source. This daemon was (and is being written) in order to migrate a large install base of UNIX systems utilizing NIS to an LDAP based solution, eventually facilitating a migration of all corporate services that rely on similar data to LDAP. This (and future) LDAP related tools are being released under the BSD License (with advertising clause).
