You'rei missing a lot of configuration, actually. I believe Fedora has the "authconfig" command. That's probably a good place to start getting things set up. You probably won't find a ton of info digging through docs for RHDS or 389, since setting up LDAP clients is very much dependent on exactly what the client is. for more information on that stuff you're probably better going to the docs for the client (in this case, Fedora 12).
