You need to install libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap, and nscd. You should probably
take a look at: http://people.debian.org/~torsten/ldapnss.html
for more info. He talks both about the server and some client info.
Actually, where he talks about doing libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap are relevant
for the client.
