As root (or via sudo):

1. Install: '/usr/sbin/up2date-nox nss-ldap'

2. Configure: '/usr/sbin/authconfig'. Check "Use LDAP" and fill in the 
Server and Base DN fields on the first page; on the next page, check 
"Use Shadow Passwords," "Use MD5 Passwords," "Use LDAP Authentication" 
(Server and Base DN should already be filled from the first page).

3. Press OK and go about your business (make sure that any users moved 
to LDAP are completely removed from /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and 
/etc/group).

That's as complex as I've gotten w/ our intranet, and it works like a 
champ.
