On 30 Sep 99, "Jones, Rich" <Rich.Jones at weamfg.com> had questions 
about Slowww access from Win9x to Samba Shares:

This a PAM message (and is harmless, I think :).  I've seen the 
"auth failure" message, but not the first part.  Samba and PAM are 
supposed to be able to coexist, but I'm no PAM guru.  You might 
want to check and/or fiddle with your /etc/pam.d/samba settings.
