I, you have a miss configuration on your slapd.conf.

Remove the spaces between: o=GBB, c=US, and the same aplies to rootdn entry,

On your nsswitch, you have to replace:

passwd:    files nis
shadow:    files nis
group:        files nis

with:

passwd:    files ldap
shadow:    files ldap
group:        files ldap


Those options, tels to the authentication modules (PAM_LDAP throw PAM ), where
to search for.

By the way, can you post the pakages you have installed to get LDAP
authentication?
