SAMBA 2.0.0 Password problems

Greetings,

I saw several other questions similar to mine posted in the archives,
however there were no answers and I just got on the list, so please excuse
the redundency if this problem has been answered.

I installed 2.0.0 on my FreeBSD-3.0 system without any problems, but when I
run:

smbclient -L localhost

I am prompted for a password.  If I simply hit return the command completes
without any problems.  If I do provide a password I get an error message
like the one I get with the command:

smbclient '\\localhost\root' (or any variation there of)

also prompts me for a password, but when I supply the correct password (or
simply hit enter) I get the following error:

session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)

I also cannot connect with swat, even with the -a option.

I have tried:

security=shared
security=user

and nothing at all in my smb.conf file.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Matthew Hagerty
