    Darwin's lookupd is open source, but I think it would be too much work
    to adapt it to FreeBSD, since it is tightly integrated with Darwin's
    libc and probably depends on Mach IPC primitives.

    I think the best bet is to write something reasonably simple from
    scratch and implement it as an NSS module, so that it can be installed
    without any changes to the rest of the system, especially without
    hacking libc.
