Hi Bruno!

I suppose, that you're talking about RPMs here:

You'll need openldap-client (because of the ldap libraries), nss_ldap 
and pam_ldap (or something similar) to have a strengh authentication. 
With nss_ldap your {crypt}ed passwords will be send over the net. And 
"crypt" isn't a very good encryption algorithm. It's better to use 
pam_ldap with SSL/TLS.

Hope this helps.
