[Samba]"unable to validate password for user"

I am trying to reach a Samba share on computer GIBRALTAR in domain TEST from
domain KOTILO. There is a Win2k domain controller HAVANNA in domain TEST and
user called peter in that domain. In gibraltar's smb.conf I have
"security=domain" and "password server=havanna". 

When I try to reach the share my account isn't validated, here's what I get
in Samba's log:

--<snip>--
[2002/01/29 12:55:56, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1613)
  domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user peter in
domain KOTILO to Domain controller havanna. Error was
NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER.--</snip>--

Is Samba trying to find the password server HAVANNA from the wrong domain?

How can I fix my situation? I am running Samba 2.0.10-2 under RH71. Here's my
smb.conf:

--<snip>--
[global]
        workgroup = TEST
        netbios name = GIBRALTAR
        server string = Samba %v on (%L)
        security = domain
        password server = havanna
        encrypt passwords = yes
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 0
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        dns proxy = no
        remote announce = 192.168.0.255
        local master = no
        os level = 0        

[test]
        comment = Win Domain Test Share
        path = /test
        writable = yes
        valid users = @tesmi
--</snip>--

Regards,
Peter
