I had the exact same thing happen to me yesterday as I was setting up 2.2 CVS.
I found that this behaviour went away once I left the trust account
("foobar$") entries in /etc/passwd (I always deleted them after running
"smbpasswd -a -m" since for SAMBA with WinNT you don't have to have them
there, and they really fill up your /etc/passwd).  Incidentally, when these
entries were removed from /etc/passwd, log.smbd contained a whole bunch of
lines complaining about "foobar$" being unknown, and that the "smbpasswd" file
was corrupt...

As I see from others' posts, perhaps my sync password option is on.  Wierd, I
don't have that on in my smb.conf; perhaps it's on by default now...
