My $0.02 (CAD) would be that the user was not in the Samba user database, and that somehow through tinkering, DynamicTech managed to add them to the Samba user database.

Please remember that you don't need to create a Linux account for users that need to access Samba shares! All you need to do is add them to the Samba database with a password using the smbpasswd utility

Regards,

Michael
