Is it possible to combine mysql with nis?

Hi all,
I'd like to know if it's possbile to make MySQL auth the account
through system account via NIS? I want the user in my system
who can automatically have their own mysql account by using
the same password on the system. Please kindly help me on this
problem. Thank you in advanced! :)

Regards,
Cheng-Lin Yang

I'm far from an expert on the subject, but judging by a quick Google
search for 'NIS mysql backend', people have been able to do this via
OpenLDAP. I just thought I'd send you a starting point.
