samba - Feb 2004 - winbind and exclamation mark

Hello.

I'm having a problem with winbind/samba-2.2.8a on Slackware
linux 9.1 (glibc 2.3.2, kernel 2.4.24, gcc 3.2.3) with a user
account on a Windoze NT 4.0 PDC named !schedule
I always get "Access denied" from the windoze NT 4.0 box and
syslog on samba box reports:

domain_client_validate: unable to validate password
for user _schedule in domain DOMAIN to Domain controller srvnt1.
Error was NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER.

I think the problem is the "!".

Any hints?

PS: Please CC me. I'm not subscribed to the list.

Samba 2.2 bans that character for security reasons.  

Samba 3.0 (I hope) takes better care, and allows 'weird' characters in
usernames.  (But not in the %U macro).
