Just on a lark, check the contents of /etc/ldap.conf, the file the
nss_ldap/pam_ldap stuff uses to identify the server. I ran the
system-config-authentication GUI on some CentOS 4.5 systems and they
failed to change the contents of that file as appropriate.
All I had to do was change the "host" and "base" entries to point to my
server and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if this is an isolated
problem or a real, live bug, I'm going to test it further to see if I
can tell.
