Windows File Service Error

I am running Mac OS X Server 10.1.1 on a Powermac G4. With the built in Windows File Service enabled, no guest access, no WINS Registration, and no Master or Domain Master Browser enabled I consistantly get the following error:

[2001/12/07 09:51:49, 0] /SourceCache/sambax/sambax-26/source/smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(231)
Unable to initgroups. Error was Input/output error

Tied to this error is the appearence of "unknown" users in the Windows Services Status window.

I assume that the samba server is trying check the group for the unknown user and since no value is passed to the initialise_groups function, it throws this error. This much I have figured out by looking through the source code, however I have not found any other information/discussions that mention this error. So...

My question is two-fold. Should I care about this error? If I should, how do I go about fixing it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm getting exactely the same error! Dont know what it could be, but Im workin on it. Let you know if I find something..

Can you access your X server from a windows klient ( //ipnumber/ ) ?

For me it worked a wile when I enabled "guest access", but now I cant
even connect... :(
