i realy don't know what this has to do with LDAP, but in our diskless
environment, /etc/rc.initdiskless, has some coded added that
based on info from DHCP will build a 'personalized' rc.conf
(the DHCP info is loaded into kenv by boot).

confpath=`kenv conf-path`
if [ -n "$confpath" ] ; then
if [ "`expr $confpath : '\(.*\):'`" ] ; then
echo Mounting $confpath on /conf
mount_nfs $confpath /conf
chkerr $? "mount_nfs $confpath /conf"
to_umount="${to_umount} $confpath"
fi
fi
...
eval `kenv | sed -n 's/^rc\.//p'`
rm -f /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.local
