locking wink2k accounts

Hello,

We are using Samba 2.0.4 on Solaris for a mixed set of NT4 and Win2K
clients. Occasionally, the NT domain controller will lock the account from
too many bad password attempts.

One of our admins has suggested that this is due to samba sending a bogus
password to 'verify' the existence of the account, before resending it
with the 'correct' password.

Has anyone heard of this behaviour, and, if so, is there a workaround?

Thanks!
