Does ldapsearch work?  Can you view you Dit from any of the many
available LDAP browsers?  If so your data is either wrong or you don't
have PAM/NSS setup correctly.  Post an example posixAccount object on
ldap@umich.edu or your PAM/NSS configuration to one of the PADL lists. 
If you can browse, etc..., you don't have an OpenLDAP problem.
