LDAP user authentication issue

Hello everyone, hoping you can provide some incite with a little problem I'm having..

I have the LDAP client configured and running on my AIX 5.3 server, which is authenticating against an eDirectory LDAP server. I can login via LDAP no problems on the AIX server with newly created users, however I can't get existing local AIX users switched over and logged in via LDAP.

I issue the following: chuser SYSTEM=LDAP registry=LDAP username and try to login in with that user via putty and get a message stating "server unexpectedly closed network connection".

However, if I first login with a local user, then su to the user via LDAP it authenticates successfully, so it appears there is something not right with just the initial login, ideas?

NAME
ocf_heartbeat_eDir88 - Manages a Novell eDirectory directory server SYNOPSIS
eDir88 [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all] DESCRIPTION
Resource script for managing an eDirectory instance. Manages a single instance of eDirectory as an HA resource. The "multiple instances" feature or eDirectory has been added in version 8.8. This script will not work for any version of eDirectory prior to 8.8. This RA can be used to load multiple eDirectory instances on the same host. It is very strongly recommended to put eDir configuration files (as per the eDir_config_file parameter) on local storage on each node. This is necessary for this RA to be able to handle situations where the shared storage has become unavailable. If the eDir configuration file is not available, this RA will fail, and heartbeat will be unable to manage the resource. Side effects include STONITH actions, unmanageable resources, etc... Setting a high action timeout value is _very_ _strongly_ recommended. eDir with IDM can take in excess of 10 minutes to start. If heartbeat times out before eDir has had a chance to start properly, mayhem _WILL ENSUE_. The LDAP module seems to be one of the very last to start. So this script will take even longer to start on installations with IDM and LDAP if the monitoring of IDM and/or LDAP is enabled, as the start command will wait for IDM and LDAP to be available. SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
eDir_config_file Path to configuration file for eDirectory instance. (unique, optional, string, default /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/nds.conf) eDir_monitor_ldap Should we monitor if LDAP is running for the eDirectory instance?

(optional, boolean, default 0) eDir_jvm_initial_heap Value for the DHOST_INITIAL_HEAP java environment variable. If unset, java defaults will be used. (optional, integer, no default) eDir_jvm_max_heap Value for the DHOST_MAX_HEAP java environment variable. If unset, java defaults will be used. (optional, integer, no default) eDir_jvm_options Value for the DHOST_OPTIONS java environment variable. If unset, original values will be used. (optional, string, no default) SUPPORTED ACTIONS
