I don't know that this is the problem you're having, but what bit me when trying to get ldapclient configured is that it copies /etc/nsswitch.ldap to /etc/nsswitch.conf, which make *everything* get looked up in ldap, which probably isn't what most people want. After it did that, ldapclient failed because it couldn't look up the IP of my ldap server, because it wasn't in ldap 8-/. I had to edit /etc/nsswitch.ldap to make host lookups go to DNS. IMHO, this whole "run a binary program to generate a config file" approach is brain dead. I did it once to generate a config file and now just distribute that flat text file using an existing config file management framework we implemented. -- Paul B.
