I keep getting the error on my Samba server

Apr 10 14:11:12 everest smbd[13120]: [2001/04/10 14:11:12, 0] smbd/password.c:server_cryptkey(1025)
Apr 10 14:11:12 everest smbd[13120]:   password server not available

I have windows 2000 clients trying to connect to the Samba server. I originally
configured it to be a domain controller for a Win 98 network, but have since
added Win 2k machines. They will connect to the shares, but then will disconnect
after a brief period, and then the user has to retype the user id and password
to reconnect. Here is the main section of my smb.conf file. Do I need change

security = server
to 
security = user
