This is a 2k -> NT interoperability bug.  We spent a good bit
of time on this before 3.0.0 was released.  Don't rmember
the bug number right now.  You can recreate the exact same
behavior between 2k and an nt4 standalone file server.

There was no workaround except to use Samba as a PDC instead
of a standalone server.  Or possibly to connect to share using
the IP of the Samba server instead (this causing the user
enumeration to the netbios name).

Hope this helps.
