My guess is that your pwl files were corrupted (what you saw was not
normal behavior). If you try saving the password and then using a blank
password at network login you shouldn't be able to access the shares.
Samba cannot distinguish between the 2 cases.
If the problem persists you can disable password caching on the Win9x
clients, there is a kb article whose number I don't remember...
