Samba 2.2, affects all users. This error message can occur if the permissions on your login script are incorrect.
Samba 3.0alpha, affects one machine only. Not really a Samba issue, as much as that type of problem classifed as [PEBKAC]. Check that your "domain" field in the login prompt is actually correct and doesn't, for example, contain extra spaces after the domain name. "Foo" is slightly different to "Foo ".

!!Password has expired
This normally means your password has expired. However, it may not always be obvious why..

I have a Samba 3.0.1 PDC setup, authenticating with tdbsam. When I exported to XML, erased the database, and imported from the database, suddenly all my passwords had expired, with a kick date at the beginning of Unix time - somewhere in 1970. I had to recreate all of the accounts. So beware of using the XML format as a backup of your password database until this bug is corrected.
!!Check the user account status
Use the command <tt>pdbedit username -c "~[X ]"</tt> to set password expiry off for the user.
+
+!!Account disabled
+If an account is locked after too many failed login attempts, use <tt>pdbedit username -z</tt> to unlock the account.
!! smbclient -L host says 'protocol negotiation failed'
Check that the host you are trying to connect to has its loopback interface (lo) correctly configured and up
