On a tangent, I also heavily recommend using the nss-pam-ldapd port instead
of nss_ldap. It includes a daemon called nslcd which is the only process
that links to the ldap libary. The nss module is a tiny plug that talks to
nslcd using a simple protocol. It really reduces the socket count to your
ldap server, and removes the potential namespace problems caused by
dlopening libldap.so in every process.
