NIS serving?



With Solaris [2.]7, Sun Microsystmes offer "Web Directory Services 3.1" 
which is basically an LDAP server.  One of its features is the ability to
emulate a NIS (aka Yellow Pages) server, including user authentication for
UNIX systems.  Another feature is RADIUS dialup authentication.  To us,
these features look attractive, enabling us to unify three similar major
administrative functions. 

Does OpenLDAP support NIS (and RADIUS)?  Are there any plans for this? 
Would implementing this be in sympathy with the planned development of
OpenLDAP?
