For Linux clients you need to configure pam_krb5.so in the PAM configuration files. In any case, several Linux distributions have their tools for automatic authorisation and authentication configuration.

To check if the LDAP is correctly configured to provide user information, use the command:

getent passwd

This just shows my local accounts, no LDAP accounts. (ala, getent passwd shows a list of accounts. getent passwd | grep (a known ldap user) shows nothing.
