    What I have in mind is an NSS libc stub client that speaks to a UNIX
    domain socket, which hooks you up to nscd which dynamically links against
    the providers of the NSS lookup services.

    Could well be, and should definitely be looked at before implementing
    anything. It could also be that NetBSD has an nscd.
