Win98+WinNT issues when not a member of Domain Admin group

Anyone else having issues with WinNT computers accessing Win98 stations when
a member of a domain?

My clients have to be a domain administrator to access a Win98 computer from
a WinNT computer. If I quit the domain, it's fine.

My software is Samba 2.2.1a and my clients are all WinNT 4 SP6a, Win98 SE.
and here is the SMB.CONF:

#======================= Global Settings
=====================================
[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
    workgroup = VIPONDINC

# DOMAIN Settings
        domain admin group = @torontoadmin, @ntusers
        domain guest group = nobody
        time server = true
#       add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -c NTMachine -g machines -s
/bin/fal
se -d /dev/null -n %m$

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
    server string = Zeus (Toronto) Server

# Netbios Information
    netbios name = zeus
    netbios aliases = toronto

# Default Service (users who request invalid shares go here)
    default service = help

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
#    hosts allow = 172.16.  127.

# Interface lockout
        bind interfaces only = TRUE

# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
    printcap name = /etc/printcap
    load printers = yes

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
   printing = lprng

# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to
/etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
  guest account = ftp

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
    max log size = 1000

# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.
    security = user

# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
# all combinations of upper and lower case.
  password level = 25
  username level = 25

# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
# [ Was commented ]
  encrypt passwords = yes
  smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

# The following are needed to allow password changing from Windows to
# update the Linux sytsem password also.
# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file' above.
# NOTE2: You do NOT need these to allow workstations to change only
#        the encrypted SMB passwords. They allow the Unix password
#        to be kept in sync with the SMB password.
  unix password sync = Yes
  passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
  passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd
:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

# Unix users can map to different SMB User names
  username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
# of the machine that is connecting
;   include = /etc/smb.conf.%m

# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
# See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
# here. See the man page for details.
;   interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
    interfaces = 172.16.40.3/24 127.0.0.1

# Configure remote browse list synchronisation here
#  request announcement to, or browse list sync from:
#       a specific host or from / to a whole subnet (see below)
;   remote browse sync = 192.168.3.25 192.168.5.255
;    remote browse sync = 172.16.40.255

# Cause this host to announce itself to local subnets here
#    remote announce = 172.16.40.3 172.16.40.255/VIPOND
172.16.40.255/VIPONDINC
eth0

# Browser Control Options:
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
# [Was commented]
   local master = yes

# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable
# [Was commented]
#  os level = 34
   os level = 65

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
  domain master = yes

# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
   preferred master = yes

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations.
# [Was commented]
domain logons = yes
logon script = toronto.bat

     logon path =
#   logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
   logon home = \\hercules\%u
   logon drive = H:

# All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses
# 'Name Resolve Order' allows the named resolution mechanism to be specified
# the default order is "host lmhosts wins bcast". "host" means use the unix
# system gethostbyname() function call that will use either /etc/hosts OR
# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config,
/etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are
NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS
Server
  wins support = yes

# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one  WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
   wins proxy = no

# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.
    dns proxy = no
