Suggested 2.0.x version for PDC?

I tried building the 2.0.x alpha from the CVS site on our new Linux box -
but no joy.  It allowed  WNT 4sp3 boxes to mount a share using the domain
username/password, but it wouldn't let users log onto the consoles of the
WNT boxes using the same domain username/password combinations.  (The log
file from the interaction was not very useful - it was created for each
machine which tried, but had zero bytes written into it!)  The smb.conf
file was copied over verbatim from an SGI which was running a 1.9.19 alpha,
which worked nicely as a PDC, and we fell back to using that Samba server
when 2.0.0 alpha wouldn't work. 

I see that there are several different 2.0.x alpha .tar.gz files on the
samba site, can anybody suggest which of these, if any, I should try
next on our Linux server?  Or maybe suggest what went wrong with the
2.0.x CVS when used with a known good (as of 1.9.19) smb.conf file.
Failing that, the next thing I'm going to try is to build the 1.9.19
samba on the Linux box.

Thanks,
