NT4.0 SP3 needs encrypted passwords, and SAMBA v 1.9.16p11 did not support
encrypted passwords unless you compiled it with a DES encryption librarie.

You have two possibilities:

Prefered, you update to Samba 1.9.18pXX, and enable encrypted passwords as
descriped in the DOC files ( ENCRYPTION.txt and WinNT.txt )

The other possibility is on the NT machine:

Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters\

Add the following value:
        EnablePlainTextPassword:REG_DWORD=1

This will enable plaintext passwords on the NT box.
