simplist way i can think of:
remove the 'files' entries from /etc/nsswitch.conf
and/or
move the files which you replicated into LDAP to another directory
so programs cannot access them anymore. note that some programs will
still try to access the files directly, some totally ignore nsswitch.
be sure to restart nscd after making the changes if your running
nscd(I reccomend it if your using LDAP)
