But it already works. I'm writting this e-mail from a NetBSD/amd64
LDAP client. It is true that I have to use the NSS module and PAM from
"pkgsrc". But at least the auto mounter from base works out of the box:

tron@lyssa:~>cat /etc/amd.conf
# Automounter configuration for "lyssa.zhadum.org.uk"

[global]
auto_attrcache     = 1
ldap_base          = dc=zhadum,dc=org,dc=uk
ldap_hostports     = zhadum.org.uk
ldap_proto_version = 3
nfs_proto          = udp
search_path        = /etc/amd
unmount_on_exit    = yes

[ /home ]
map_name =      amd.home
map_type =      ldap

[ /share ]
map_name =      amd.share
map_type =      ldap

[ /scratch ]
map_name =      amd.scratch
map_type =      ldap

[ /volumes ]
map_name =      volumes
map_type =      file

And I wouldn't particular appreciate to lose this feature.

	Kind regards
