LDAP and NIS

I've been looking more and more at doing the LDAP migration from NIS on my home
systems. I installed the requisite stuff on my test machine at work and am
playing with it now (trying to convert my /etc/passwd to LDAP)
At home however I use NIS not just for global logon but to pass files like
auto.home auto.master for autofs and I also pass host and other files I want
all machines to have.
My assumption is that after I import NIS user data into LDAP (ALl i'm doing is
importing the /etc/passwd that was used to generate the YP map right?) then I
still need to have NIS to pass those files I mentioned. My /etc/nssswitch.conf
file will then determine what file calls what service (either local file, NIS
or LDAP)
Am I saying this right?
Ideas thoughts suggestions?
