What is the UID/GID of the user who can't login?  

Are access controls enabled on the one machine but not the other??
(/etc/security/access.conf), is the PAM configuration the same for login??
(/etc/pam.d/login), has the system been broken into?  (compare MD5sums  for
apps between systems, or use one of the many forensic method to determine if
you got hacked into.)
