If you use authconfig to setup nsswitch.conf, pam.d/system-auth and
ldap.conf, you really don't have to do anything in sendmail to
specifically use ldap because pam will find the ldap users
automatically.

at the point it is working, commands like 'getent passwd' and 'getent
group' will list LDAP users and groups respectively and authentication
should work.
