Different encrypted samba passwords than Unix passwords...

I may be reading this wrong, but I'm trying to figure out why samba is
sometimes trying to do a Unix password lookup to authenticate a samba
connect. I have my samba passwords different than my Unix passwords. I'm
using my own compiled version of Samba 1.9.18p10.
I have an NT4 SP3 box and when I try to access a share through explorer on
either of my two Linux boxes with encrypted passwords it fails. It appears
that if I enter the correct samba password it tries to authenticate the Unix
password. The odd thing is if I delete the shares on the NT box and then
re-add them (using "net use") it works fine again... I think until the next
reboot -- at least it never works after a reboot.

These are the shares I'm trying to access:
[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /usr/local/share/public
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
force user = samba
force group = samba
[users]
comment = Users
path = /home
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
Here are the logs:
