No.  LDAP users work fine.  Have you tried looking at /var/log/secure? 
Typically the cause for failed authentication is logged there, including 
bad permissions.

I didn't mention it the first time because it seemed ridiculous, but 
your home directory may be at fault, too.  Your home directory, .ssh, 
and .ssh/authorized_keys must all restrict group and others from 
writing.  That is, none of those three can have permissions greater than 
0755.
