openldap login issues

Hi,

I'm new to ldap, so please be gentle ;-)

I have a box running CentOS 5.3 wit OpenLDAP 2.3.43. When I run getent passwd fo0072 (which is my username), this was advised as a check I get nothing. when I su - fo0072 as root, it logs in as expected, when I try to login trough GDM I get a invalid username/passwd error when I press CTRL-F1 and login to the console it logs on without any trouble. This suggests to me thatt there is something wrong in my config, but I checked everything, but could not find it.

I'll post the necessary config files and ldifs when requested

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Serge Fonville
