[Samba] Samba 3 with Unix passwd authentication?

Nope.. For some reason, Samba 3 does not seem to be able to authenticate 
me as a local user where Samba 2.2.7 does.

I am on a Red Hat 9 box.  I am using the SRPM I downloaded from the 
ftp.samba.org and rebuilt on this box.  The configure options of the 
SRPM are:

CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS $EXTRA" ./configure \
         --prefix=%{prefix} \
         --localstatedir=/var \
         --with-configdir=/etc/samba \
         --with-privatedir=/etc/samba \
         --with-fhs \
         --with-quotas \
         --with-smbmount \
         --with-pam \
         --with-pam_smbpass \
         --with-syslog \
         --with-utmp \
         --with-sambabook=%{prefix}/share/swat/using_samba \
         --with-swatdir=%{prefix}/share/swat \
         --with-libsmbclient


The client error I'm getting back is:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

The server error I see in the log files:

[2004/02/12 10:40:19, 2] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_auth(514)
   smb_pam_auth: PAM: Athentication Error for user andy
[2004/02/12 10:40:19, 2] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_error_handler(73)
   smb_pam_error_handler: PAM: Authentication Failure : Authentication 
failure
[2004/02/12 10:40:19, 0] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_passcheck(810)
   smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User andy !

There is also a bit where it's checking ntlm_password which fails too:

[2004/02/12 10:40:19, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(312)
   check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [andy] -> [andy] FAILED 
with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD


As far as I can tell, /etc/pam.d/samba are the same in both versions..
But it works with Samba 2.2.7a.  Strange?
