Sounds like it.

You gave root permission to view the passwd map (sorry, that's NIS
lingo, I don't recall what LDAP calls it), but not regular users.

But passwd has to be visible or you'll have problems like this. You
want protect the shadow version of the passwd file, of course. Make
sure that root on the local machine (as whom login(1) better be
executing) does have access to the shadow map, though.

This is probably a configuration issue on the client machine, not on
the LDAP master. Perhaps something more to be specified for pam?
