samba - Mar 1999 - Versions and passwords

The version number samba-2.0.2.tgz that I installed (swat is good, thanks)
claims in several places (nmbd and swat) to be version 2.0.1 - is this a
known typo? 

I'm running some slackware boxen at a NTServer and having no problems
until I try passwords. I tried recompiling with -DSHADOWPWD to no effect.
I have done the regedit for plain passwords and tried the various
encryption and no encryption alternatives. Before 2.0.2 i could at least
get past step three on the diagnosis but now  I get 

Password: 
session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)

Before I compile 2.0.3 and start work anew is there a patch or some more
docs somewhere for shadow passwords??

THanks
