samba - Aug 2005 - Samba 3.0.14a Not restoring connections - Help ??

Hello-

When our users log off for the evening  and log back in in the morning 
they are having to re-enter the SMB password for the network shares they 
had saved when mapping them. In the past when the local username and 
password matched the smbpasswd file then all connections restored w/o a 
hitch. Its now not working.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Below is my small smb.conf 
file global settings

[global]
        netbios name = woot
        local master = yes
        preferred master = no
        workgroup = DNR
        interfaces = 146.63.45.22
        lock directory = /var/lock/samba
        os level = 62
        remote announce = 146.63.45..255
        security = user
        password level = 20
        encrypt passwords = no
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd

Thank you

Not that it should  matter but I would be inclined to leave "preferred 
master" out so it can default to auto.
Also would question the use of non-encrypted passwords.
Also "remote announce" seems unnecessary here (but I don't know
your
subnet mask), you wouldn't need it if this is the same subnet that this 
interface is on.
