samba 2.0.3 and Win NT, 95

Hi,

I have a problem with samba-2.0.3.  Currently, I am running samba 1.9.17p4
on our IBM RS/6000 (AIX 3.2.5) machines and some Linux machines.  It is
working well.  I set up "EnablePlainTextPassword" on NT with SP3, and there
is no problem.  Now, I downloaded samba-2.0.3, compiled it on AIX 3.2.5, and
installed it.  When I run testparm, it does not show error message with the
following smb.conf file:

[global]
   workgroup = abcxyz
   browseable = yes
   load printers = yes
   printcap name = /etc/qconfig
   printing = bsd
   print command = /bin/lpr -h -P%p %s
   guest account = msnet
   status = yes
   log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
   log level = 1
   max log size = 50
   security = server
   password server = xyz
   dead time = 10
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = yes
   read only = no

...... (some other shared directories)

where xyz is my NT server (PDC).

However, I can not mount any drive on AIX systems from any Windows NT or 95
systems -- always "password incorrect" as if I did not set
"EnablePlainTextPassword".  If I include domain controller = xyz in the
[global] section, then I got an error message when I run testparm:

Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Unknown parameter encountered: "domain controller"
Ignoring unknown parameter "domain controller"
Loaded services file OK.
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions

...... (it still lists all shared directories, but I still can not see any
of them from NT or 95).

Can somebody help me to figure out why?  Again, I set up
"EnablePlainTextPassword" on both NT and 95 machines, and it was working
with samba-1.9.17p4.  I tested: if I did not set up
"EnablePlainTextPassword" on NT with SP3, then I can not see shared
directories on samba-1.9.17p4 from NT with SP3 as expected.

Thanks for any help!
