security=domain bombs

On advice of helpful folks from the list, I tried to switch our Samba
server from security=server with password server = <pdc name> over to
security=domain.  I get invalid password errors when connecting from NT,
and Session Setup failure when using smbclient.  Once I also got "Your
server software is being unfriendly" from smbclient.

Transcript of smbclient:
#@davis:/usr/local/src/ntdom/source>./smbclient '\\blake\aperrin' -U
aperrin -W SANDBOX
Server time is Thu May 21 15:37:17 1998
Timezone is UTC-7.0
Password: 
Session setup failed for username=aperrin myname=UTILITY destname=BLAKE
ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or
Session Setup are invalid.)
You might find the -U, -W or -n options useful
Sometimes you have to use `-n USERNAME' (particularly with OS/2)
Some servers also insist on uppercase-only passwords
