Update:
I can now read the ldap server entries from the remote machine. I changed
the peername value on the ldap server's /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file from
ip=127\.0\.0\.1 to the ip address of my subnet.
I'm still not getting the remote machine to succesfully do the login
authentication against the remote server.
