Yes, I found the port here: http://www.ifost.org.au/~peterw/login_ldap-3.1.tar.gz But exactly as you mentioned, it does not provide getpw* replacements. It cannot replace nss-ldap :(. This brings this big question: what BSDs have NSS capability? I know FreeBSD does not for example. Also how else getpw* replacements can be used in a most unintrusive way?
