Still the same problem. I tried also to change bind_policy to soft. 
Can you show me your nss_ldap.conf ? 

Problem is after I change things in /dev/nsswitch.conf. If I live it like 
this:

group: compat
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: compat
shells: files

I start slapd using /etc/rc.d/slapd start , then I change /etc/nsswitch.conf 
to:

group: files ldap
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: files ldap
shells: files

Everything is fine and users can login via ssh using their ldap password. I 
can boot server with first configuration and run some script that will copy 
second nsswitch.conf , but I dont like this solution and I dont understand 
why its not working.

Any help welcome :)
