Win2k login problem

Hi there,
I'm trying to connect a Win2k client to a Samba TNG 2.5 server (compiled
with '--with-ldap'), running on the latest Debian version, in order to
export roaming profiles to the client. I have followed the instructions
given by the Samba TNG - LDAP  Howto (written by Ignacio Coupeau) to set
up the ldap database.
Presently:
The Win2k can see the server in the network neighbourhood and access any
public share.
A connection to server with 'smbclient' works fine.
The 'createuser' command works as well and I created a trust account for
my Win2k client and a few user accounts.
But when I authenticate from the client to enter the domain, I get the
following error:
    "The account used is a computer account. Use your global account or
local user account to access this server".
Is it a known problem ?
What kind of account must I create on the server to authenticate the
client ?

Thanks a lot
