I followed the above howto word by word too and it didn't work from
the first try. So I made some searches, I think on pamldap or on
openldap mailing lists, don't remember exactly, and found another
explanation on how to set things up. As far as I remember, my problem
was with ldap.conf and nss_ldap.conf files which reside in
/usr/local/etc/. This files must be identical, so you may symlink
them, as I did. After that everything started to work, in my case ssh
through pam_ldap.

Unfortunately, my detailed configs are at work, so if you won't find
anything I'll post them on monday.
