Could you give some more information on the OS and version of
nss-pam-ldapd you have installed?

Also looks reasonable. Unless there is a particular reason that you are
using compat (e.g. netgroups, NIS or other special constructs
in /etc/passwd or /etc/group) it is better to use files instead.

Does getent passwd karthik return anything? If you run nslcd in debug
mode, does it log anything? Also see
  http://arthurdejong.org/nss-pam-ldapd/setup
for some debugging pointers.
