Samba and Windows NT


I'm running RedHat8 and Samba 2.27 on a machine. The sambaserver is authenticating the users through a NT PDC using the security=server option. I'm getting my security log on the NT PDC filled with failed login attempts from the samba box, from the user SAMBATESTVENUS. This is no useraccount i have created, so i recon its a system account. Can someone explain to me that this is, and how to make it go away?

The Event Log message:

My /etc/samba/smb.conf file (part of it):

smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
