Re: fedora and openldap

I came in late on this thread, so disregard if this has already been
said or is not applicable.  Also, we use standard RH packages, so if you
are building your own, this may not be any use to you.

We have a few RH6 boxes authenticating against our ldap servers. It's
been awhile, but in addition to the CA certs being copied to the clients
and the correct perms assigned we had come success enabling legacy mode
in RH6 when running authconfig to set up the box.  If I recall, in
legacy mode sssd does not run and it uses a more RH5 way of
authenticating clients.  Unfortunately, I don't have a RH6 box in front
of me, but you can edit /etc/sysconfig/authconfig to set legacy mode. 
Then run your authconfig command to set up the box.  Also, look at
/etc/pam_ldap.conf if you decide to try to authenticate in this manner. 
The settings in there are like they were in /etc/ldap.conf, RH5.  Your
system-auth file looks like ours does as far as I can remember. 

Just something else you may want to try if you haven't already.
