Thanks for the previous replies on how to get the release 3 alpha3 source. I 
got it and compiled. When I run (using my same config file from a samba 2_2_2 
that works) and do a "getent passwd" I see a list of usernames and then I see 
the same list over and over and over and over...

Hers some sample output (2 lines are really one line of getent output):
---------------------------
QALAB\User-0385:x:10392:10000:Simulated User    
385:/home/QALAB/user-0385:/bin/false

QALAB\User-0405:x:10412:10000:Simulated User 
405:/home/QALAB/user-0405:/bin/false

---------------------------------
Looking at the tcpdump for about a minutes worth of this I see a quite small 
file indicating that it is not going over the network over and over!

Do I need to configure smb.conf or dont have usernames that look like:
QALAB\User-XXXX
