samba - Aug 2004 - make_user_info_map in log with blank Doman and UserID args

Samba 3.0.5 Debian Package
Kernel 2.6.7 custom compile on Debian Testing

Configure Samba per my KLUG presentation on Samba PDC to Win2K Clients:
ftp://ftp.lueckdatasystems.com/pub/presentations/klugsamba3pdc-bookreview.pdf

In the error condition, a user account is assigned to the domadmin and ntadmin
Linux groups.
In smb.conf -> admin users = @domadmin
On the workstation there are mappings between the local groups and nt* domain
groups.

Drive letter mappings net use fine to the server, accessing them via drive
letter fails, UNC works fine.

Checking the log, the call to make_user_info_map is missing the Domain and
UserID strings:

make_user_info_map: Mapping user []\[] from workstation [CGS00004]

I have tracked down that the user -> ntadmin membership is the issue, moving
the user into ntusers for example allows normal access to the LAN drives by
drive letter. The missing strings are properly
filled in to the make_user_info_map call just by changing the nt* group
membership for the UserID being tested.

I have removed the net groupmap and put it back in again. Since this was
working, is it possibly a corrupted Samba database file? How does one recover
from this kind of error?

Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.

I found a message from John Terpstra about where the "net groupmap"
mappings are stored:

In the tdb file called group_mapping.tdb.

So I stopped samba, renamed this file, brought samba back up, reran my script to
set up the group mappings, bounced the workstation, still have the error.

Now I am surprised...

This is an anonymous session.  Normally abnormal here.  The problem
would be elsewhere.
