Thanks guys. I've tried it all, no luck. This is what's in my /var/log/auth.log:

Jun 3 17:46:34 selene sshd[12788]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server

The user yan is disabled in /etc/passwd and was migrated to ldap.

and nothing.....  I can telnet into that port, and ldap immediately logs it:

slap_listener_activate(8):
>>> slap_listener(ldap:///192.168.128.6:389)

The only thing I can think of is that pam_ldap.conf is not being parsed. strings on pam_ldap.so show that /etc/pam_ldap.conf is in fact hardcoded. Here it is, stripped of comments:

selene:/etc# grep -v \# pam_ldap.conf | grep -v '^ *$'
host 192.168.128.6
base dc=seiner,dc=lan
ldap_version 3
rootbinddn cn=admin,dc=seiner,dc=lan
pam_password crypt

selene:/etc# cat nsswitch.conf
passwd:         ldap compat
group:          ldap compat
shadow:         ldap compat

selene:/etc# grep -v \# /etc/pam.d/common-account | grep -v '^ *$'
     account sufficient  /lib/security/pam_localuser.so
     account required    pam_ldap.so debug
     account required    pam_unix.so

selene:/etc# grep -v \# /etc/pam.d/common-auth | grep -v '^ *$'
auth  sufficient  pam_ldap.so debug
auth  required    pam_unix.so use_first_pass nullok_secure

Any ideas at all?

I've been trying to figure out how to get pam authentication working
with ldap.  From what I've read, it should "just work".  In my case, it
"just fails".

No matter what I try, I get

server...
Jun  3 06:16:42 selene dovecot-auth: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't
contact LDAP server

I get this with every service I try; not just imap.

I've turned on debugging in ldap; pam is not connecting to the ldap
server at all.

AFAICT, I have all of my pam modules set up correctly; at least I've
followed the debian pam + ldap wiki and it all seems to make sense,
except that pam never tries to actually connect to port 389.
/etc/pam_ldap.conf has all the correct uri for the ldap server.

Is there some way to turn on debugging in pam?  Some way to see what
it's doing?  A way to examine the modules it's using?

Thanks,
