Nice to see that someone is testing in Sweden as well :)

When you say "the ltsp", is that a thin-client or a Thin-client-server ?

Are you able to bind using ldap directly, something like
 ldapsearch -xLLLWD uid=testare,ou=People,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no \
             uid=testare uid userPassword

You should get a prompt for password, and you should be able to see
something like this on the output:
 dn: uid=testare,ou=People,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
 uid: testare
 userPassword:: <some hashed information>

Hard to say without local access and more error-logs.

Have you changed anything from the default setup (like network setup etc?)

I guess that is because noone has tested it. Although it should work.
