several small points:
1. actual SuSE kernel is 2.4.16, grab it from any suse mirror (find a
list on www.suse.de/com)
2. on the very same mirror you'll find a 'people' subtree. in there,
directory lmuelle. in there, rpm packages of current samba for almost
any suse distribution.

I suggest that you grab these first.

btw, can your win2K logon to the domain? if so HTH did you do that? my
win2k here tries to open the samba server ON BLOODY PORT 80 WITH SOME
STUPID COMMANDS which where never defined in any version of the HTTP
protocol (and so confuse my apache) to find it's PDC, and then clain
'domain unavailable'... Strangely the domain was still there when I told
the friggin w2k to join it.

deduction: the fact that microsoft 'threatens' to take WinXP and W2K off
the market is not really very much threathening right now...

ps. yes I DO know that this is not a.s.r.
