compare the /etc/pam.d subdirectories on these machines to find out 
why samba is not allowed to log in...

there may be a file calles samba in there that will be the most
relevant.Otherwise maybe the default is being used...

I believe there is a config setting telling samba to obey PAMs
restrictions...

You could either configure samba to ignore PAM or fix PAM.
