[Samba] Some users can't log in -- server shows username as "nobody"

[Terry Davis]

I think this is normal if the user cannot be authenticated.  I saw this
when I was trying to get ldap to work.  I don't know if it shows this
when the user cannot be found or when the password is wrong....i would
guess when the user cannot be found......
