Can you have the LDAP info sent across the network encrypted.
How fast is LDAP? How much data is sent.

With a properly setup server, you can set up your user records such that a user can only see their own, and you can then (mostly) dispense with the passwd/shadow files. (you still have accounts you want to be machine-local only though.)
