I can't wrap my brain around the new pam.d configuration syntax used in Ubuntu 10.04. How do I setup PAM so that it allows users stored in my LDAP database to login.
I already configured nscd, so id <user> or getent passwd are already listing my LDAP users, but PAM doesn't work, whether the normal shell login nor su.

LDAP is already working. I can list all accounts by executing getent passwd,
but my PAM configuration is still not working.
The listing below shows my /etc/pam.d/login

# Enforce a minimal delay in case of failure (in microseconds).

# (Replaces the `CONSOLE' setting from login.defs)

# If you change it to a "requisite" module, make sure this does not leak

# /etc/pam.d/common-auth - authentication settings common to all services

# This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files,

# traditional Unix authentication mechanisms.
#
# As of pam 1.0.1-6, this file is managed by pam-auth-update by default.
# To take advantage of this, it is recommended that you configure any
# local modules either before or after the default block, and use
# pam-auth-update to manage selection of other modules. See
# pam-auth-update(8) for details.
# here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block)
auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
# here's the fallback if no module succeeds
auth requisite pam_deny.so
# prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already;
# this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success code
# since the modules above will each just jump around
auth required pam_permit.so
# and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block)
# end of pam-auth-update config
common-authlooks correct. Perhaps the problem is somewhere else? Is there anything in/var/log/auth.log? Check some other logs too, such assyslog,messages,user.loganddaemon.log. Are there any other LDAP-related files you've edited? Did you configure any authentication or access control on the LDAP server?
