There is a very simple way to determine this.

awilliam at laptop01:~> rpm -qf /etc/ldap.conf
pwdutils-2.6.90-6
awilliam at laptop01:~> rpm -qf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
openldap2-client-2.2.15-5

So you know from what packages came which file.

Look in the /etc/ldap.conf,  it should be very verbosely commented.

The PAM and NSS modules come from PADL (www.padl.com) you can download
the tgz's and look at the documentation they contain.
