Log question

[Tony Ricker]

All,
    I continually see this error in my logs. As I understand it, the
account  is used to map users who fail to authenticate and samba tries
to use the nobody account. Am I wrong? As you can see, this happens
throughout the night. Any thoughts as to what is happening?

Cheers,
Tony
