[Samba] Samba Invalid user not working

[Michael Thrift]

I agree with you, the service should block it, and you're correct in 
asking "why doesn't this work."  What version of samba is it?  Can you 
update it?  Do you have any log entries?  What happens if you increase 
the logging in your smb.conf?
