[Samba] tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw

We're using an RS6000 w/ Win95 clients and only wanting to authenticate
through our NT PDC.  We don't want to use the matching username/pswd at the
AIX level...if their network login passes the PDC and provided they belong
to the proper workgroup, they should be able to map).  When I run through
the diagnostic steps and issue "smbclient //testsrv/ads" (I didn't actually
use quotes in the command), I get the following:


added interface ip=192.168.200.349 bcast=192.168.200.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[ATEX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.2]
tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
testsrv{root}#


Our smb.conf is as follows:

[global]
   workgroup = ATEX
   dns proxy = yes
   security = domain
   encrypt passwords = yes
   password server = *
   netbios name = testsrv

   [ads]
      read only = no
      path = /ads  


Does anyone have an idea what we're doing wrong?  Thanks for any assistance.
