You need to install libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap, and nscd. You should probably take a look at: http://people.debian.org/~torsten/ldapnss.html for more info. He talks both about the server and some client info. Actually, where he talks about doing libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap are relevant for the client.

But there is a bit a progress in the sense that, I can do
1) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ finger raju Login: raju Name: Kamaraju Kusumanchi Directory: /home/raju Shell: /bin/bash Never logged in. No mail. No Plan.
2) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ id raju uid=502(raju) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
even though I cannot login into the raju account from console. (raju is a user on the LDAP server).
3) My /etc/nsswitch.conf looks as
passwd: ldap compat group: ldap compat shadow: ldap compat
hosts: files dns networks: files
protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files
netgroup: nis
4) When I did apt-get install libpam-ldap, I was not asked any questions at all. But the documentation says it will ask some questions. I wonder if it is the case only with server?
thanks again regards raju
