[Samba] upgrading (?) from 2.2.4 to 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3

Very simple setup.  We have a NT4 pdc and some windows boxes.  We have a
large raid running on linux that we use samba to share to the rest of
the network.  2.2.4 works great, 3.0 doesn't using the same smb.conf.
I'm sure there are some things that have changed but even trying to take
the examples on the site and mod them to fit my case doesn't work
either.

The linux/samba box name is delta1, just browsing to \\delta1 gives me
the name/pass prompt.  Before entering my name/pass I go check the samba
log file for the machine I am browsing from and It has:

[2005/01/13 02:41:48, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!
[2005/01/13 02:41:48, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!
[2005/01/13 02:41:48, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!
[2005/01/13 02:41:48, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

I then type \\domain\name and password, click OK and it adds this to the
log file (as well as asks for name/pass again):

[2005/01/13 02:42:07, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1122)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

Those same lines appear in /var/log/messages.  Other than that I'm not
seeing any logs that get touched.  The raid server was added to the
domain with `net rpc join -U name%pass`, and I've verified on the pdc
that the machine is added.  Both smb and nmb are running, winbind is not
(I haven't seen any doc saying I needed it and it wasn't used with the
2.2.4 samba).

Here's `cat smb.conf | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^\; | grep -v ^$`:

[global]
   workgroup = NT_LABS
   server string = Delta1 Linux
   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
   load printers = yes
   log file = /var/log/samba.%m
   max log size = 50
   security = server
   password server = BRAVO 192.168.1.2
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   local master = no
   dns proxy = no
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
[printers]
[public]
   path = /raid/pub
   public = yes
   only guest = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no


Eventually (maybe sooner now) I was planning on dumping the windows pdc
and replacing it with a linux one.  All I would need to ensure is that
all the old user logins would still work under the new linux/samba pdc.
If that's easier to do (and share this folder) all at the same time, I'd
rather just do that.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
