Hmm.. totally agreed r.e. directory auth being a 'good thing' -
however - I recently was able to do a NIS compatibility test using DF+ssh
(though this is not /sbin/login, etc) and we do have nsswitch and pam, correct?

I'm not clear why 'using nsswitch implies dynamic linking'

Again - I'm not out to cause controversy, but seek understanding.
