Not every system uses or even allows all possible login "types". If you read the pam manpage or vi pam.conf in the /etc directory tree you can see what your system does. Also note that you can deny interactive ssh sessions on a per user or per group basis - see your sshd.conf file. This affects the types of logins that you will see.

LDAP, for instance, can be set up to employ a remote server or to use the local box as the ldap server. What you may see in the auth logs will be different - at least on Solaris.

edit: As a second thought - please share what are you trying to accomplish ultimately - NOT how you think it should be done.
