[Samba] User auth problem

Hi,

Disregard the message from me last week, I wasn't thinking clearly.

Here is my problem, I've got a user, call him USERNAMEX, signing into a
samba drive that is a mounted NT drive.

I'm mapping all of these users to 1 acct on the samba server (using
smbusers).

This users sign into a Windows NT Domain, and all of the users (except
USERNAMEX) have the domain password as their only password.   X has set
a windows password as well - different than his domain password.

Without entering his windows password I succeeded in mapping the drive,
but now he gets a popup saying the password is invalid (weather the
windows password was supplied or not).

Here is a snippet from the log:
>><<
[2002/10/07 14:18:33, 3] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(868)
  sesssetupX:name=[USERNAMEX]

  Mapped user USERNAMEX to guest2

  Defaulting to Lanman password for guest2

  pass_check_smb failed - invalid password for user [guest2]
[2002/10/07 14:18:33, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(998)
  Rejecting user 'guest2': authentication failed
>><<

I set smbpassword for this user's account and the guest2 account to the
same password he uses for his Window's password.

All the other local users still work.

Any thoughts?

I really appricate the help.
