Can anyone tell me at what point (which RH Linux release) LDAP became widely
available to use as an information resource?
Looks like it was during RHL 6. It's hard to find a complete RH mirror to be more accurate than that.
Also, can /etc/nsswitch.conf make use of LDAP resources?
Yes.
If one is to believe the comments in that file, then LDAP does not appear to play a role at all in /etc/nsswitch.conf switched services.
That's probably because the LDAP NSS module isn't part of glibc. It's developed by PADL, and included by Red Hat in the nss_ldap package.
