Why is Win98 looking for user "nobody"?

Below is a transcript of a successful user login (with debug level = 1).
I'd like to ask a question regarding the netlogon notations below.
First, some background. My v2.2.2 Samba server is running on a RedHat
Linux v7.2 (with kernel v2.4.14). The client logon below is from a Win98SE
box.
The user below, "nancy", is mapping shares in 2 passes. In the first pass
a number of shares are mapped by a netlogon script when logging into the
network. In the second pass, the share that nancy has elected to map,
"clipart", is auto-connected by Win98. So far so good.
Now what the heck is that business between the 2 sets of connections? The
netlogon is connected to, the user "nobody" is looked for 3 times, then the
netlogon share is closed. Huh?
Although user "nobody" exists in Linux, it does not exist in smbpasswd. I
have no references to this user in either smb.conf or in the logon script.
What is causing this sequence of actions and how do I stop it?
Thanks.
