There are a few things to look out for:
If you use 'security=server', there could be issues. (win2k does weird
connection-reset stuff that can make it miserable on very high-load
systems)
As you are not yet running winbind, the native-mode issues that users in
Samba 2.2 based setups have won't bother you.
