Now when I moved to Samba as PDC all of a sudden people can't access the shared resources on nt workstations.  I set up security very lax (read everyone full control), but still no go.  This is also true of shared directories.

The problem is that in a Domain environment, the authentication is
demanded to the PDC and samba 2.0.7 has still problems authenticating in
behalf of others.

You may anyway setup a local account on the workstation and let users
authenticate against the workstation local account.
you should be able to connect with WKSNAME\username as username to the
service.
eg: if workstation name is TEST and username is print, when you map the
printer use the username  TEST\print

I have not tested, but it should work.

Simo.
