Hi Kevin,
i use pam_ldap with cyrus 2.0.14 and can authenticate against ldap
2.0.11 even with cyradm. In my opinion you do not need nss_ldap. It is
only necessary if you want to store information for unix user accounts
in a ldap directory.
Can you see activity in the ldap log file, when you try to use cyradm ?
Perhaps some configuration parameters like ldapbase, ldaphost or
ldapport may not be set correctly.
Regards,
Philipp
