[Samba] Printing stops after upgrading to 3.0.8-2

Dear list subscribers,
Recently I upgraded my samba version from 2.0.5 to 3.0.8-2. The setup I
use is basically very simple: a W 98 box should be able to access some
disk-shares and a printed, connected to a Linux box, running Debian's sarge
distribution. Accessing the disks is no problem, but the printer can't be
accessed any more.
My log.smbd logfile shows lines suggesting there may be something the
matter with a new password scheme, but after browsing the docs and several of
this mailing list's archives I found no clues helping me out.
I would appreciate receiving any suggestion or pointer leading to the
solution of my problem. Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.
Here is my current smb.conf file:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = OOSTUM
passdb backend = smbpasswd, guest
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
syslog = 0
max log size = 500
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins support = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root
log level = 5
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
[hdu]
comment = Knarfix' Root Directory
path = /
guest ok = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/public
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printing = bsd
print command = lpr -r -P'%p' %s
lpq command = lpq -P'%p'
lprm command = lprm -P'%p' %j
browseable = No
[lp]
comment = lp
path = /var/spool/public
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printing = bsd
print command = lpr -r -P'%p' %s
lpq command = lpq -P'%p'
lprm command = lprm -P'%p' %j
printer name = lp
oplocks = No
share modes = Yes
and here are the relevant parts of the log.smbd file, showing the kind of
errors I get when I try to print:
[2004/12/03 17:57:49, 10] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:mod_smbfilepwd_entry(715)
mod_smbfilepwd_entry: opening file /etc/samba/smbpasswd
[2004/12/03 17:57:49, 6] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:mod_smbfilepwd_entry(828)
mod_smbfilepwd_entry: entry exists for user esther
[2004/12/03 17:57:49, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:pop_sec_ctx(386)
pop_sec_ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0
[2004/12/03 17:57:49, 5] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(271)
check_ntlm_password: sam authentication for user [ESTHER] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
[2004/12/03 17:57:49, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(312)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [ESTHER] -> [ESTHER] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
So, it appears that something has changed in the password handling, but I fail
to see what that might be, especially since I'm not aware of any changes I
applied when upgrading to the newer lever, while everything worked fine before
the upgrade. In particular: neither on the Windows box nor on the Linux box
the passwords of user `esther' were changed.
Again: any help is most welcome.
Thanks in advance,
