[Samba] windbind locks out domain account

Howdy folks,

I'm having a weird issue here. I have winbind running on several other servers
on our domain, and they are working fine. From what I can tell the configuration
is identical, as I custom rolled my own RPM that set's all the config parameters.

What's happening is when I try to ssh to this one specific server, it seems looking
at the logs it's trying to continuously authenticate off the domain with the wrong
password and then locks the account out. Here's some info from the logs (names changed
of course):

May 14 16:38:52 SERVER sshd[24479]: pam_winbind(sshd): user 'DOMAIN+user' OK

Anyone seen anything like this before? I just type in my password once, and whammmo, account
locked out! ;-)
