Where does OS X store LDAP and login settings?
I'm writing scripts to check for compliance with the DISA STIG. Several items refer to manually click-click-clicking to verify settings regarding LDAP or accounts like guest account disabled, "Allow Guests to connect to shared folders", "Display login window as:", "Show input menu in login window", "Show password hints", fast user switching, password hints for each account, etc.
Where are these settings kept? Googling turns up a lot of questions, and few responses other than "well, this isn't very well documented". I've tried changing settings and then running a "find" looking for files modified in the last couple of minutes. No dice.
How do I locate these settings and dig them out from the command line?

pam_guest
PAM_GUEST(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAM_GUEST(8)
NAME
pam_guest -- Guest PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_guest [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
The guest service module for PAM allows guest logins. If successful, the pam_guest module sets the PAM environment variable GUEST to the
login name. The application can check this variable using pam_getenv(3) to differentiate guest logins from normal logins.
The following options may be passed to the pam_guest module:
guests=list Comma-separated list of guest account names. The default is ``guest''. A typical value for ftpd(8) would be
``anonymous,ftp''.
nopass Omits the password prompt if the target account is on the list of guest accounts.
pass_as_ruser The password typed in by the user is exported as the PAM_RUSER item. This is useful for applications like ftpd(8) where guest
users are encouraged to use their email address as password.
pass_is_user Requires the guest user to type in the guest account name as password.

pam_get_item(3), pam_getenv(3), pam.conf(5), pam(8)
