samba - Nov 2003 - ODD PAM ERROR

I have set up winbind, made the nsswitch settings, joined the current NT 
Domain, got back the message that said "Welcome to Domain".  When I
try
to access the PC, it brings up IPC$ and wants a password.  The log for 
that workstation says "PAM:  UNKNOWN PAM ERROR (9) during Account 
Management for User:  Domain+USERNAME!"  Then it says "PAM: Account 
Validation Failed - Rejecting User Domain+USERNAME!"

Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

Brandon,

You are asking us to exercise our worn-out crystal balls by not providing
your smb.conf file, so here goes:

My guess is that your UNIX system does NOT have an account called
"nobody". I guess also that given that your system does not have a
nobody
account, you also do not have the following entry in your smb.conf file
[globals] section:

	guest account = 'a_valid_unix_account'

So let me know, did my crystal ball work this time. Dang, it's been so
unreliable lately! :)
