Assuming you're talking about ldap unix accounts and not about ldap im accounts. This seems to be caused by the pidgin-otr plugin. Both the pidgin program and the plugin are compiled against libcrypt, and (I read) this causes a problem. simply by mv-ing /usr/lib/pidgin/pidgin-otr.so to pidgin-otr.so.bak, you can at least use pidgin as your current user while still using LDAP. I myself am not a developer and have only somewhat mediocre knowledge about this stuff, but this fixed the problem for me. I only hope the next update I receive on pidging has a fix or workaround for this.
