samba - Feb 2002 - Authentificating against a NT4 PDC / Domain

Hello,

i have a problem with setting up samba so it redirect authorization
requests to our NT4 Primary Domain Controller.
I am using SuSELinux 7.3 with Samba 2.2.1a. I am very confused, because
almost the same (only workstation name changed, of course) configuration
file workes very fine on an other Samba 2.0 Server.

The problem is, that if I connect to a samba share on a WinNT4 SP5 Client,
always the "Username and Password" Dialog rises, and it accepts no NT
Domain Account (not those listed under valid users).

Here is me smb.conf with some comments.
Maybe someone can make a suggest, did I miss something or has something
relevant changed from V.2.0 to V.2.2.1a ?

I have made a machine account on the PDC via NT ServerManager, and executed
smbpasswd -j DCSIFI, which succeeded
Or are there any additional steps neccessary ?
