There's also the OS X Open Directory system, which is also in Darwin (the opensource component of OS X). See http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Darwin/PortingUNIX/additiona= lfeatures/NetInfo.html for a brief introduction, and the Open Directory pages at http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/opendirectory/ for links to API documentation, and source code.
