Well, somewhat. E.g. my NIS master doesn't need to publish a "passwd" map in order to provide "auto.home" map or whatever, and I don't need a "lookup" account to get at the required data in the case of NIS.
You could have LDAP that only contained automounter information and you can allow anonymous binds. I don't think you're losing those options.
Thanks for the discussion & sharing the benefits of your experience, John -- much appreciated.
No problem,
