I didn't think it was a firewall problem. It'd take a very strange kind of dynamic firewall to allow them to connect and communicate but not allow them to authenticate.
I'm not precisely sure what PAM trouble could cause this. PAM doesn't usually differentiate between different network locations itself. But I understand some systems had implemented PAM add-ons to do so. Maybe just glance in your PAM configuration and see if you find anything related. (But don't touch it lightly, either. Messing up PAM may require a rescue CD to recover from.)
