o.k. switching back to 3.0.5 was less complicated and works 
with the same smb.conf files (3.0.6 also messed up the
passsword-file, was not readable by 3.0.5). 

Anyway a short summary of the mess:

after the upgrade

- win98 clients worked o.k. (read, write, everything)
- Xp clients were able to log in (domain machine Acccount),
  they could list files, they could even *write* files, but they
  could not read files.
  Same phenomenon for XP Sp1 and Sp2, Professional and
  home version, for users with local and network-only accounts.
  Upgrade from 3.0.6-1 to 3.0.6-2 did not solve anything.

Thanks and Greetings...
