[K12OSN] LTSP 4.4.1 cannot authenicate to LDAP from GDM login

A little more research on how to troubleshoot this problem here is
website I used there troubleshooting techniques.
http://www.ldapguru.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2793&forum=
6&post_id=8373#forumpost8373 
I know ldap is working, because I can run the following command:
ldapsearch -x -LLL -h ldap1.example.com
And I can see all the LDAP users.  I know when I login as root I can
goto home and see all the user from the remote servers nfs share.  I
need to get this resolve tonight or my K12LTSP project at this school
might get the axe.

Thanks
-Glenn

Yes, I mean that I am able to connect to the remote home directory
through NFS and see the user folder contents with ldap, but I can not
login through GDM. Here is my system-auth contents.

#%PAM-1.0

Do you mean you are able to SSH in perfectly fine as a user in your LDAP
directory?  The users home directory is then the correct home directory
(shared through NFS)?

Setting up Authentication through Gnome then writes the PAM rules to the
file /etc/pam.d/system-auth (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Can you email to the list the contents of this file on your LTSP server?
