When using gdm I am unable to login to users with names of greater than 8 characters (via LDAP). If I switch to xdm or wdm then the authentication works perfectly fine. I AM able to use gdm with users that use 8 or less characters in their name. The messages I found in the daemon.log are consistent to those listed above.
