Run the authconfig command from single user mode and disable ldap
authentication that way. There are many files that are changed by the
authconfig utility, including /etc/pam.d/system-auth,
/etc/nsswitch.conf, and /etc/nscd.conf, which are probably causing your
problems. The authconfig will make the necessary changes to all of
these files saving you quite a bit of work.
If you need help on setting up ldap authentication, I might be able to
help you out through private emails, since I've had a great deal of
experience dealing with it.
