Ondrej, I'm using PAM-LDAP, and just created a testuser with a 12 character long login name. Everything works OK. It might indeed be a pam_unix problem, but it's sure nothing related to PAM itself. Perhaps you should go through your PAM documentation to find out how to put some more information into your log-files.
