I only have to install/config ldap-clients every now and then, but I would
also strongly favour a more "integrated" setup (if that requires having it
in base is a different question, though). A few weeks ago I used
nss-pam-ldapd instead of pam_ldap and nss_ldap for the first time, and it
appeared to work with a bit less of a hassle for me (otoh, I don't do any
funky things here, I just need a replacement for what we did with NIS
something like 20 years ago).
