[Samba] connections always mapped to guest

Should all connections to a print share be connected as the guest account?
I don't have a "username map" defined, and I'm running winbindd which I
thought allowed "dynamic" UID assignment to connecting users. Yet
"smbstatus" shows all connections as "pcguest".
Also, I have "map to guest = Bad User", which I believe is ONLY supposed to
map a user that is NOT found on the domain controller. Even if I set this
to "Never" ALL users are still being mapped to "pcguest". The only
difference is that "Bad User" allows them to print even if they type the
WRONG password. I didn't think this was supposed to happen unless set to
"Bad Password".
I'm really confused, please help.

Subject: [Samba] connections always mapped to guest
I have setup Samba 2.2.4 on HPUX 11.0. I'm using it only as a print server.
It appears that ALL connections are being mapped to "pcguest" regardless
whether they are valid or not. I do not have a "username map" defined,
"guest ok = yes" is set for my printer share. I am running winbindd, which
seems to be working correctly. I ran the following command 5 times,
changing the "map to guest" parameter, and typing my password correctly and
incorrectly. Here are my results:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
> smbclient '\\BOITEST\PR1234' -U dan_thibadeau -W palo-alto
1) set: map to guest = Never
typed correct password
result: smbstatus shows "uid" is "pcguest"
connection was made, and I got prompt (typed "exit")
2) set: map to guest = Never
typed WRONG password
result: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
3) set: map to guest = Bad User
typed correct password
result: session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
4) set: made no changes, just repeated test 3
result: smbstatus shows "uid" is "pcguest"
connection was made, and I got a prompt (typed "exit")
5) set: map to guest = Bad User
typed WRONG password
result: smbstatus shows "uid" is "pcguest"
connection was made, and I got a prompt (typed "exit")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
My concerns are:
1) Why are all connections being mapped to "pcguest"?
2) Why did I get a session failure of "SUCCESS - 0" on test 3?
3) Why did test 5 connect when I typed the wrong password?
I have debug level 3 logs of each test and my smb.conf if requested.
