[Samba] Samba authentication question

[Scott L. Wood]

Hi,
	I am running samba 2.2.7 and am trying to access a samba file as a virtual
directory from a Windows NT IIS web server.
I am currently using security=server, encrypt passwords = yes ,password
server = test1 test2 test3, and dead time = 10. When I first start the samba
server the virtual directory in IIS works fine. After some time, I think
that it is the dead time, I can no longer connect to the virtual directory
through IIS. When I look at the samba log I see the following errors.

2003/02/05 10:36:25, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1369)
 unable to open passdb database.
2003/02/05 10:36:25, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
 Couldn't find user 'xxx' in passdb.
2003/02/05 10:36:25, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1001)
 Rejecting user 'xxx': authentication failed

I suspect that the problem is with reauthentication after the dead time has
been reached and it isn't connecting with the NT password server.

Any Ideas, comments, help , suggestions, smart remarks would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
