Eventually I found the problem: nscd did bind anonymously and slapd was configured to prevent access to ldap information by anonymous users. I thought that specifying "rootbinddn" and the correct password in ldap.secret would prevent that but obviously nscd needs "binddn" and "bindpw" in ldap.conf.

nscd runs as user "nscd" so it's not going to use rootbinddn.
---- rootbinddn does not have anything to do with 'user root'
'User root' can bind as whatever is in /root/.ldaprc which by default is nothing which will default to whatever values are set as binddn/bindpw in /etc/ldap.conf
rootbinddn is the all-powerful bind of LDAP
