Hence the question - is there a good way to have an NIS server for user authentication that is a mirror image of an LDAP server, with a proviso that an update introduced there is replicated in the LDAP server's databases?
I don't know of any "syncing" mechanisms between an existing NIS environment and an existing LDAP environment, but if you are willing to migrate to something new that provides both, you might try FreeIPA.
