Peter,

Can you get a netmon trace?  Or raw tcpdump-smb (or 
snoop) output from the session

	user1 logs on
	user1 logs off
	user2 logs on
	user2 get accesss denied message

If you use tcpdump, make sure you use a sufficient 
snap length to get the netire packet(s).


btw...are you using the HEAD branch code or the released
(2.0.x) code?  Also, please send a copy of your smb.conf
file with the packet trace.





Cheers,
jerry
