PAM authentication failure


My PAM module seems to work right but it fails in authentication. Althought it can't authenticate, the session module works and the software who uses it executes well.

For example, when I login through "gdm" using pam to authenticate against an ldap server
/var/log/auth.log shows
Code:
pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=myuser
pam_unix(gdm:session): session opened for user myuser by (uid=0)
Any ideas?
