check your ldap.conf settings. From pam_ldap's change log:
91        * centralized authtok update code. The pam_crypt,
          pam_ad_passwd, and pam_nds_passwd configuration
          file keys are deprecated; instead the following
          configuration file key will be used:

                pam_password [clear|crypt|md5|nds|ad]

          See README for more information. (NB: The
          pam_crypt will continue to work so as to not
          compromise existing deployments.)
