Don't replace the line, add it before pam_unix.so. Having the last auth
line be sufficient causes weird behavior. If you feel like you need to
*replace* pam_unix (which is a *really* bad idea), make it required, not
sufficient. I would recommend something like this:

...
auth sufficient      /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so
auth required        pam_unix.so             no_warn try_first_pass nullok

I think you might be missing a concept or two. In any event this is not
really a bug.
