nss_ldap, pam_ldap woes



I'm running openldap 1.2.6-5 with nss_ldap-85-1 and pam_ldap-36-1
on RedHat 6.0.  I can connect to my ldap server fine and do a simple
ldapsearch.  I also installed the MigrationTools and ran the 
migrate_all_online.sh script.

Questions:

1. When I create a user with useradd, should the user be added to
ldap automatically?  Here's what I get:

% useradd -m tester
% passwd tester
Changing password for user tester
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Enter login(LDAP) password:


2. What do I enter for the LDAP password?  I tried the binddn password
(default of secret still)  After 3 unsuccessful attempts for the LDAP
password I get a segmentation fault.

3. What are the capabilities of nss_ldap and pam_ldap?  What should
I expect to be able to do with it?  

I can't find much info on nss_ldap or pam_ldap anywhere.  I've been
to rage.net but it doesn't look like that site is being maintained.
padl.com doesn't have much either.  I checked the openldap-general
archives too.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
