nss_ldap fulfills most of the get*ent calls, thus based on the bits of
your configuration you've exposed I think you're ending up with that
behavior and not using pam_ldap at all.  Instead the authentication is
happening via nsswitch fulfilling getpwent() call's (the passwd: files
ldap line in nsswitch.conf)

Ok, thanks.  But shouldn't the documentation be changed
to reflect that?

There's an article on LDAP authentication on FreeBSD here:

I'm confused as to why pam_ldap and nss_ldap do not need
/etc/pam.d entries, as described in the above link in
section 3.1.1.  Meaning, I do not have any ldap entries
in my /etc/pam.d/ or even /usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and
ldap logins work (console, ssh, telnet, ftp).

  $ grep -i ldap /etc/pam.d/*
  $ grep -i ldap /usr/local/etc/pam.d/*

What am I missing?

  $ uname -v
  FreeBSD slrtr1 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #0 r250347...
  $ uname -m
  amd64
  $ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
  group: files ldap
  hosts: files dns
  networks: files
  passwd: files ldap
  shells: files
  services: files
  protocols: files
  rpc: files
