redhat share problem

[Gene L Reynolds/GYR/CC01/INEEL/US]

Hi all, I really need some help here I have read and tried everything I can
to make
Redhat 6.1 and samba 2.0.5a  operate correctly. the problem is this......
I cannot make a share level or user level connection to any shares. guest
OK
works good ( no authentication) when I try and make a connection to a share
using a valid UID/password combination user or share mode security it barfs
with this error,

[1999/11/09 11:01:42, 4] smbd/reply.c:reply_tcon_and_X(302)
  Got device type ?????
[1999/11/09 11:01:42, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection(268)
  Invalid username/password for erob_wip
[1999/11/09 11:01:42, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(138)
  error packet at line 163 cmd=117 (SMBtconX) eclass=2 ecode=2
[1999/11/09 11:01:42, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(143)
  error string = No such file or directory
[1999/11/09 11:01:42, 5] lib/util.c:show_msg(459

This apears as soon as the connection is made, then again after I enter the password
in share mode or the username/password in user mode.
I can connect with this exact same config file on a Solaris machine.......
I am using plaint test passwords in my NT 4.0 sp5 platforms
I really need to fix this problem I have a customer base of about 8k people
on a large document management project,  Should I not use LINUX????
