I don't know anything about NIS, but I think you can do this with PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module). PAM basically lets you authenticate users against a variety of sources -- including an LDAP database. I've seen this set up before -- a number of boxes have PAM set up and pointing to a single LDAP database for authentication. -- Michael A.
