[Samba] netbios aliases and shares

I have Samba 2.2.8a on Linux set as a PDC.
Its netbios name is \\DC, and has an alias \\CSWIN
and then I include %L.smb.conf. In dc.smb.conf, I set
"security=share" and all the stuff needed for it to
act like a PDC. It works without any problems..

Here is my cswin.cmb.conf
-------------------------

[global]
          server string = Windows Distribution Share
          default service = dist
          browseable = yes
          writeable = no
          read only = yes
          write list = @staff

          # security
          security = share

[download]
          path = /packages/samba/shares/download

[dist]
          path = /packages/samba/shares/dist

Now when I type

net use \\CSWIN\dist /USER:DC\username *
and then type in the password, I get
System error 1326 has occurred.
Logon Failure: unknown username or bad password.

The log file shows:

[2003/05/19 16:08:56, 1] lib/debug.c:debug_message(258)
    INFO: Debug class all level = 2   (pid 30798 from pid 30798)

[2003/05/19 16:09:07, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(511)
    Closing connections

twice for each attempt. The first is before I type in the password,
and the next after I do.

What I want is to able to mount shares from \\CSWIN, by giving username
and password who are part of the \\DC domain. If I change security = 
user, then I get a
System Error 1240, The account is not authorized to log in...

Any pointers... I know it should be some thing simple with my smb.conf's.
