I would suggest to retry it with a postgres user readable
/etc/pam.d/postgresql
an with a pg_hba.conf without postgres specified on the last field after
pam. Also if you want ldap authentication, take care, that in
/etc/pam.d/postgresql you don't reference any other non pam_ldap module,
and your /etc/ldap.conf is readable by postgres user.

Good Luck!
