I've integrated some FreeBSD boxes into my solaris network. In do this, 
I wrote a couple of scripts, sol2tofbsd (which shuffles and deals Solaris'
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow combination in FreeBSD's /etc/master.passwd then
runs pwd_mkdb to create the other 3 files), and autohtoamd (which frobs the
/etc/auto_home file in to an amd map). 

Drop me a line if you're interested.
