Compare /etc/pam.d/login against one of your other pam services that works. 
What I do on my servers is add pam_ldap to pam.d/system, then blow away most
of the lines in the other files and replace them with

auth            include         system
account         include         system
session         include         system
password        include         system

, so I know everything uses the same configuration.
