Sorry for the late answer...
It really simple, just save your current ldap.conf/ldap.secret, config can be
copied to new config files, syntax is similar.
Install nss-pam-ldapd, urpmi will delete nss_ldap and pam_ldap.
Copy the URI lines and secret to nslcd.conf, and start nslcd service.
The only different thing (for what I used, I have a fairly simple setup)
is the way of filtering users for machine access, it is even simpler in
nss-pam-ldapd, you have 'filter' lines for passwd/shadow etc..
