Sigh- I had two major typos in my system-auth file and a couple of other
bits I never would have found until you mentioned I probably wasn't using
pam_ldap at all. I'm going to fix these and test the results but I'm
nearly certain that was the problem. I spent 2 hours checking the files
and managed to miss these issues several times. I managed to comment out
ldap in nsswitch.conf on the wrong server- then couldn't figure out how it
could still be authing...

Thanks,
