[Samba] Samba 2.2.3a + Windows XP - Office 2K & Messenger Crashes

[Alessandro Oliveira]

Hi,

I have a samba server running for about 2 years and now I updated the server
to RH 7.2 + All Updates and samba-2.2.3a. We have about 40 win98 boxes
running without any problems.

Now I'm trying to configure WinXP pro boxes, I've already managed to connect
them to the domain, but I'm having very weird problems using Office 2K and
Windows Messenger. When I logon using an administrator account everything
works as expected, but when I try to logon using any ordinary user accounts
and start windows messenger it crashes silently, and when I start the any
Office application, it is closed just after the application starts.

look at my smb.conf below:

happening.
