Making a Solaris 9 box be a 10.3 LDAP client

I have a 10.3 server running with all the updates and it a ODM with users/groups created within it's ldap domain, everything from the Mac end is working great.

What I now need to do....

We have a SunOS 9 box that is running some app that we need it to accept user/group information from the 10.3 domain for local file system rights.

For example if I have a group on the 10.3 domain called group1 and a dir on the Sun box called test, we want to be able to do (From the sun box):

chown -R :group1 test

And then set access permission based on the group.

What I was thinking was to bind the Sun box to the 10.3 domain to do this, but I'm running into the issue that I really don't know Solaris well and all the docs I find are about how to setup a client to bind to a Solaris domain and not how to setup a Solaris box as a client.

So I guess my two questions are:

1. Is what I'm thinking of doing the right way of getting this to work?
2. Any read me or help on setting up a Solaris box to be a ldap client to a 10.3 domain.

Thanks.

* Edit: Think I should have posted this in the server forum. Mods: I'm goint to post it there, please lock this thread if you think it should be.
