[Samba] sid_to_uid/public share problem

[Robert]

I've got a public share that any user is supposed to be able to access. But no 
matter who I try to connect as, I get the dreaded: "NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER".

Important info: Samba version: 3.0.28a, OS: Kubuntu 8.04

Looking at the logs, I think the problem is here:

auth/auth_util.c:create_token_from_username(1116)
  sid_to_uid for pcguest (S-1-5-21-1683542063-625151989-839735972-501) failed

My smb guest account line is: guest account = pcguest

The user does exist in the samba database (pdbedit -Lv pcguest):

Unix username:        pcguest
NT username:
Account Flags:        [U          ]
User SID:             S-1-5-21-1683542063-625151989-839735972-501
Primary Group SID:    S-1-5-21-1683542063-625151989-839735972-513
Full Name:
Home Directory:       \\linuxii\pcguest
HomeDir Drive:        H:
Logon Script:         home.bat
Profile Path:         \\linuxii\profiles\pcguest
Domain:               HAP

Munged dial:
Logon time:           0

Password must change: never
Last bad password   : 0
Bad password count  : 0
Logon hours         : FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

and the user exists in /etc/passwd (getent passwd | grep -i pcguest):
pcguest:x:1042:1042::/home/pcguest:/bin/false

I've reset both passwords to the same thing just to be sure, but no joy. Even 
restarted the samba server. Still the problem persists.

From the samba server itself, where linuxii is the server name, everyone is 
the public share, and the password for pcguest is just the letter a (for 
now), "smbclient //linuxii/everyone -U pcguest%a" returns:
Domain=[HAPPY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28a]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER

It also does that for any and every other user too.

Now if I try to connect to pcguest's home directory 
(smbclient //linuxii/pcguest -U pcguest%a) I succeed:
Domain=[HAP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28a]
smb: \> 

Using "pdbedit -Lw pcguest", it shows the uid is correct (1042 which 
matches /etc/password):
pcguest:1042:7584248B8D2C9F9EAAD3B435B51404EE:186CB09181E2C2ECAAC768C47C729904:
[U          ]:LCT-484D79A9:

So what am I missing???
