nss ldap and Linux compat

I've recently migrated over all user authentication to LDAP and put nss_ldap onto my FreeBSD boxes. Everything was chucgging along nicely till someone tried to use acrobat. Bam failed. Turns out Linux emulation doesn't support ldap. And before asking, I did fiddle with nss_switch in the linux etc directory.

So I've found a work around. I've got a kludge, I've put a periodic job to :
su operator -c 'getent passwd' > /compat/linux/tmp/passwd
I've got a link from this file to the etc directory.

So here's the million dollar question, does anyone have a real solution?

The only one I've come up with that might work is switching to NIS. I spent a lot of time getting LDAP to work right and play with samba. I'm also in the process of migrating many of the aliases to LDAP and then building a real address book. So I really don't want to run LDAP and NIS.


BTW using FreeBSD 62. on user platforms.
