[Samba] wrong MD4/LM pass for user nobody ? (nobody in smbpasswd)

[pilsl at goldfisch.at]

still trying to solve my domain-problems (from time to time I get
'domain controller cant be found' on a special sambaserver 2.2.3a)

Why does samba complain about wrong password for user nobody ? I
actually found "nobody" in smbpasswd, but I'm not sure if I put it in
there and dont understand why nobody needs to be samba-user.

imho nobody is the unix-account under which samba performs
guest-logins, but it dont need to be a valid samba-user.

And even if: why should a nt-client use this name to connect to my
server. Or is nobody the account under which the domainlogon happens ?

thnx,
peter

This is what my sambalogs tells me (debuglevel 4):
