Aaron/All,
       I'm seeing the same thing with logins via ssh, on rhel 4 the error
logs as:
 "pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user
"uid=name,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com" (Invalid credentials)"
rhel 3:
 "pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user
"uid=name,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com" (Constraint violation)"

The user works on another rhel4 box with the same config as the one throwing
the error, so I'm at a loss.
