I don't think LDAP is set correctly. Why the conflict between example.comand
padl.com ?
(Troubleshooting LDAP installation may be out of the scope on this thread)

chown is only one of the problems. You need to be able to successfully run
ldapsearch before trying anything else.
BTW, what does your nsswitch.conf look like ? does it have entry for ldap
for passwd and groups ?
