This is why you use libpam-ldapd (instead of libpam-ldap) in combination
with libnss-ldapd (instead of libnss-ldap).

Its design with a separate daemon (nslcd) doing the actual LDAP
connection is far superior compared to the original lib*-ldap code.

It also means that libldap itself is only mapped into the central
server process and not into every process on the system.
