[Samba] user can no longer connect to shares

[Gerry Kirk]

The message in the error log is:

The session setup from the computer OURSAMBASERVER failed to
authenticate. The name of the account referenced in the security
database is OURSAMBASERVER$.  The following error occurred: 
Access is denied. 

This appears sporadically in the database a few times each month.
