Truman, 

Can you check out a copy of the latest HEAD branch CVS 
code and try to reproduce this?  With 2.2.0 close on the way,
it would be better to patch against that base if need be.

What pipe is this on? samr i'm guessing.  I think that would
be SAMR_QUERY_USERINFO.

Ah...I see what you're doing.  Better to go back a 
read the smb.conf man page some more.  Use the 'valid users'
parameter for your current setup.
