Suggest you update to samba-2.2.8a or samba-3.0.0rc1.

With samba-2.2.x series you will need to disable sign'n'seal requirements
in the registry of the Windows 2K Pro machine. You will find a registry
patch file in the samba source tarball (or on your Linux system under
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba-2.2.8a/docs/Registry.

NT4 did not have Sign'n'Seal support.
