Using SAMBA or locally? I haven't done Samba LDAP auth, but I seem to 
remember it works differently to normal UNIX LDAP auth (different 
passwords, maybe different UIDs too). This might be part of the issue.

If you have any specific error messages or syslog snippets that could be 
handy. Alternately, a step-by-step description of the login problem 
might help.

That's used by recent distros so you can have PAM binaries for multiple 
architectures, eg:

/lib/security/i386/pam_env.so
/lib/security/ppc/pam_env.so

etc.

If your distro just has

/lib/security/pam_env.so

then you can leave out the $ISA/ . If you have 
/lib/security/i386/pam_env.so but $ISA/ seems to result in an error, 
just replace it with i386/ and all should be well.
