You can easily get around this by adding several alias names to the 
samba server and then making different connections with different user 
names to these names.

Add alias names in smb.conf with

netbios aliases = name1 name2 name3 ...


I first thought that the limit is one user per _IP_, but it is really 
one user per netbios name... Quite silly, but works! :-)
