OffTopic - Solaris 9 & openldap

Apologies for this off topic post, but I'm struggling as to where to go for 
information.

For various reasons, primarily that the LDAP server needs to access the LDAP 
repository, we are running one of our domains with OpenLDAP (the other domain 
where we have a dedicated server runs iDS5 with no problems)  Whilst the Linux 
clients can authenticate against LDAP successfully I have been unable to get the 
Solaris 9 clients to do so.  If I login with a local account getent and ldaplist 
return correct entries, it is just the authentication of users at login that 
fails.  I've found documents that describe how to do interoperate Solaris 9 and 
OpenLDAP using PADL nss-ldap but not with native Solaris nss-ldap.  Can anyone 
provide pointers as to what I'm missing and how I can use native nss-ldap?

Unless you think your reply will interest the whole list please reply directly 
to me.

Thanks for any help
