What packages were updated?  If you can't remember, /var/log/yum.log should
tell you.

I'd check the following files on your broken server against the other working
servers for differences:
 /etc/nsswitch.conf
 /etc/pam.d/system-auth
 /etc/ldap.conf
 (if you're really desperate, all the other files in /etc/pam.d/ )
