The password may not be the same on all. Remember, NT uses local accounts
as well as domain accounts on servers not set up as domain controllers.
(i.e. standalone or domain member servers) Check the machines you can't
access and ensure the passwords are what you think they are on the
local accounts because that's where Samba is gonna authenticate first.
