Thanks for answering David.  I've had no trouble setting the server to be a client.  LDAP users can log in physically to the server with no issue, but not when they are using clients.  Did you have to modify the LDM in order for this to happen.  I know I had to modify the GDM to allow LDAP users to log in to the server, do I have to do something to the LDM in order for this to happen.  It's just not working. Thanks in advance.
