I'm  running Samba  v2.0.6,  OpenLDAP  v1.2.10 and  PAM  on my  Debian
box. Having  the smbpasswd  file, every client  can connect,  but when
removing that  and 'enabling' PAM,  only UNIX, W98 (earliest)  and NT4
w/o any service pack can connect. W2k and NT4+SP? is denied access...

Any pointers on how I should get the non-working clients to be able
to access my Samba server to?
