I don't understand any of that, I'm afraid.

The log you posted shows pam_radius failing because getservbyname() 
failed. getservbyname() uses NSS. Fix NSS to be reliable and this error 
will go away. This is not a RADIUS problem.

You should just remove "ldap" from "services" in /etc/nsswitch.conf - 
it's pointless and unhelpful. But it's not a RADIUS problem, and thus OT 
for this list.
