[SLUG] Strange samba problem

I have a redhat9 box running samba 2.2.8a acting as a file server for about
12 computers. 10 are windows 2000, 1 XP-pro, and 1 Win98. 2 users are unable
to connect every couple of days. If I reset their password in linux (not
samba) they can get back in for a day or two. The 2 usernames are "chris"
and "show1"

[root@xxxxxxx root]# smbclient //flr/data -Uchris%password added interface
ip=192.168.2.10 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session setup
failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [root@xxxxxxx root]#

Now I reset his password to the SAME ONE HE HAS...

[root@xxxxxxx root]# passwd chris
Changing password for user chris.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is too short
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@xxxxxxx root]#
smbclient //flr/data -Uchris%password added interface ip=192.168.2.10
bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[xxxxxxx] OS=[Unix]
Server=[Samba 2.2.8a]
smb: \>

Can anyone help me out here.. I have no idea how this happens to only these
2 machines.

 Take care,
