I have problems with one Windows NT.

I installed Samba 2.0.2, but that did not helped.

You are right there are some flaws with this code. 

I am running Samba 2.0.2 on a SCO OpenServer 5.04 machine and found
that the default setting slows down the access to the shares compared to
the times from Samba 1.9.18p10. After setting "nt smb support = no" 
Samba 2.0.2 responds as fast as 1.9.

Also this fixed another problem that I had with an NT 4.0 SP3 client. If a file 
that is stored on a Samba share is opened from the NT client and printed to 
a Samba printer. Samba creates the empty file Ne01: in the directory where 
file resists. This bug has been reported under PR# 13685.

I will now check if this bug has been fixed in Samba 2.0.3.

Best regards,
