That's correct, but remember ssh logs in as and checks the user/pass so it'll
contact the ldap server for those if it can't find them in /etc/{passwd,shadow}
and if the ldap server is configured for reverse dns lookups and the requesting
machine isn't resolvable in reverse DNS it can cause the ldap server to time
out in giving a response to the machine that made the request.
