I wonder if this is a problem with the NFS mount and not LDAP? First run "id testuser" and "getent passwd testuser" from the client and let us know what the results are (where testuser is an actual user that can log into the clients). Also, is the LDAP server running on the same server as the clients, or is there a separate authentication server? And are the /home directories stored on the LTSP server, or is there a separate nfs server exporting /home? If a separate server is exporting /home then send the /etc/fstab contents of the LTSP server and possibly the /etc/exports contents of the nfs server. In my experience if id and getent work, the ldap authentication and server are fine. After that it is group membership, permissions, file system mounts, etc that are the problem.
