You can set NetBSD up to authenticate against an OpenLDAP server. If
got a setup like this running with 3 Mac OS X clients and a NetBSD
OpenLDAP server.
If you want to use OpenLDAP over SSL you have to add the SSL
certificate of the LDAP server to the MacOS X box -- otherwise it will
ignore the LDAP server.
BTW: Netinfo is nothing like LDAP. Netinfo is an old Next technology
(at least they used it) and is used by Mac OS X instead of /etc/passwd
and other files. But Mac OS X can also use LDAP servers to hold this
information.
