effort required to create passwd DB nsswitch lookup using AAA server..

[Raj]

Currently, there's LDAP lookup support for passwd DB
in nsswitch.conf. I don't think similar service exist
for AAA server lookup for passwd DB in nsswitch. How
much effort is required to accomplish this. Any
pointers are apprecaited...
