I have some problems getting nss_ldap to work. When I type "getent passwd" on
the client I get the following error in the syslog:
Mar 28 14:30:30 localhost getent: nss_ldap: could not connect to any LDAP
server as (null) - Can't contact LDAP server
The setup works when I use a openldap server running on the same host, but
not when I try to use slapd from a different host.
Is it possible to increase the amount of logging information from nss_ldap?
Other debugging tips? I can query the remote ldap server with ldapsearch
from the client so I think the server is okay.

Did you setup nss_ldap's configuration file? It seems that it still
contains "localhost" as ldap server (the default). You don't say which
OS/Distro you are working with, but usually ldapsearch and nss_ldap use
different config files. On Linux you can use "strace -e trace=file
getent passwd" to see which config files nss_ldap is trying to open.
