In first you have to verify the setup of the server with tools like :
- ldapsearch of openldap that is locate in /usr/bin on fedora 11
- ldapsearch of mozilla that is locate in /usr/lib/mozldap/ldapsearch on 
i686  or /usr/lib64/mozldap/ on x86_64 . you can install this with the 
rpm mozldap-tools
take care that the arguments of these two commands are not equal.

once you have setup the server you can setup the client with authconfig 
and test with getent
example : #getent passwd returns the list of your local user and the 
list of your "ldap users" in the base.
