Still using smbpasswd file for security=server

I'm using the precompiled samba-2.0.0pre1 binary for my RedHat 5.1 box and I
was trying to set up the security = server option. I got it to join the NT
server domain (as a bdc I guess), but for mapping, etc. it doesn't verify
the password on the NT server. It kept telling me that my password was
incorrect. I replaced my smbpasswd file and then it worked fine. What am I
doing wrong to get it to still use the samba password file? Does the binary
not have that option compiled into it?
I have options:
security = server
workgroup = TWE
password server = joker
Also, I have a wins server defined and I notice I still get a lot of
broadcasts still asking for my linux servers address. Does it take a while
to take effect? How can I tell if it's working or not?
