Yes, which is why it's important to see what the pam config says.  Surely,
'PAM_USER_UNKNOWN' is a strange error to suddenly have appear when everything
worked well before; Samba is notoriously unforgiving of usernames which don't
map to something that can be resolved with getpwnam().  Either the improved
PAM support in Samba 2.2.0 has uncovered a bug in the Solaris defaults, or
vice-versa.
