SMB Connection Window is this normal ?

Setup Info

Intel Xserve 10.5.7 with the following services running.

AFP, DHCP, DNS, iChat, OD, SMB and VPN

Everything seems to be working okay until you click on SMB Service and view connections

Below is an example of what I see for every windows xp user connected or mac user linking in with smb.

Is this normal ?

I’ve turned off Allow Guest Access under SMB Services as well as the share points.

I’ve tried turned on guest access to see if made any difference and I still got the same problem.

After spending a bit of timing reading the samba documentation, plus using smbstatus in the commandline. I’m pretty sure the Guest user is showing the locked file info on files opened on the server.

Anyone know why it comes up as guest and not the user account or is one of those undocumented feature.
