"You’re god damn right" (Mister White) 

After I increased the timeout on ssh, I was able to connect.

I'm using Centos 5 (without nss-pam-ldapd) and Centos 6 (running the awesome nslcd!)

Look the results:

$ date; time ssh vmcentos5 -l root whoami
Qui Fev 27 11:02:13 BRT 2014
Qui Fev 27 11:13:17 BRT 2014
root
real 11m0.654s

$ date; time ssh vmcentos6 -l root whoami
Qui Fev 27 12:07:39 BRT 2014
Qui Fev 27 12:08:02 BRT 2014
root

real 0m20.233s

Thanks a lot!
