I commented out the nsswitch.conf entries on the correct system and auth
stops working- which finally makes sense. Then I corrected the pam_ldap
entries (which I managed to typo as pam_ladp.so) and of course now
everything works.

Thanks for the help- I never would have looked at those files again if you
hadn't said that was the only possibility.
