Two things to check, first off, user must be in group 'wheel' (gid 0), in order to su, and also check settings in "/etc/pam.d/su", (su has seperate settings).

Um... actually VERY easy...

Step 1:   install nss_ldap & pam_ldap
2:        edit /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf
          edit /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf
          edit /usr/local/etc/ldap.secret
3: edit /etc/nssswitch.conf, change from 'files' to 'files ldap' for 'group', and 'passwd' (optionally) 'hosts' too. 4: do a quick 'ldapsearch -x' to make sure you are connecting/searching the correct ldap tree... 5: edit /etc/pam.d/<service> file(s) for which types of accounts you want to authenticate. ie: system, login, ftp, ssh, other, etc... should have to add a line like:

auth            sufficient      /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so      try_first_pass



Thanks, that was easy, I was just missing the part about nss_ldap.conf,
I didn't realize there was a separate file for nss. I have the logins
working with gnome well, but I noticed once I login as an LDAP user, I
cannot su to root in terminal session...
