PAM authentication failure?

Howdy:

Can anybody explain why /var/log/messages is filled with the 
following?

Aug 18 09:37:53 rama PAM_pwdb[28483]: 1 authentication failure; 
(uid=0) -> arnold for samba service

Aug 18 09:38:25 rama PAM_pwdb[28494]: (login) session opened for 
user arnold by arnold(uid=0)

The first one happens every time I browse to rama from win95 
Explorer; the second one is from a telnet login (obviously, I'm 
concerned about the former, but not the latter).

Thanks in advance, Steve Arnold
