I had just reached this same position myself when trying to work out why W2k will 
not authenticate against my SAMBA PDC.  I have had several permissions problems with 
SAMBA and have had to make various directories and files world-readable.  However, I 
understand that smbpasswd needs to be tightly restricted for security concerns, so 
have not tried to solve this problem by making it world-readable.

So, any help will be appreciated by at least two of us!
