I'll try to get a time where my wifes not using the network to turn user
access back on to trace, or maybe install a VM to see if it happens
there too...

Basically i could fairly reliably get it to happen by:

 - smbpasswd -a
 - map a network drive to my server (home drive or user access drive) (save password)
 - after about 10 minutes (not sure the exact time, but wasn't a long time), disconnect that drive (in gnome just click eject)
 - reconnect to the drive, and you get prompted for a password (shouldn't!)

After that point, no matter what i do I can't reconnect until I run a
command to unlock the account, or set to no password, basically anything
that would re-write the password entry i think, but i've never looked at
the code, so i can't confirm this.
