[Samba] empty authentication string sent so samba-server

Hi,

for the last two weeks ive been trying, to authenticate against a
samba-domain using a win2k3-server. the server joined the domain without
any problem and the basic login seems to work. but if i try to execute
programs from mapped network drive (mapped using a domain-logon-skript),
it fails with a message telling me, that i dont have sufficient rights
to do so.

the share has a forced user and group like this;

...
[programm]
    comment = samba
    guest ok = yes
    path = /samba
    public = yes
    browseable = yes
    writable = yes
    force user = samba
    force group = users
...

this only happens on the win2k3-server, all xp-workstations work just
fine with domain-logons, network-drives, logon-skripts, etc. in the
samba-logs for the win2k3-server i found this:

...
[2009/05/22 09:20:51, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(219)
   check_ntlm_password:  Checking password for unmapped user
[]\[]@[SRV_NAME] with the new password interface
...

compared to logons from an xp-workstation its missing the user/domain
part that should look like this:

...
[2009/05/22 09:15:45, 3] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(219)
   check_ntlm_password:  Checking password for unmapped user
[WORKGROUP]\[kappen]@[BUCHHALTUNG] with the new password interface
...

does anyone have an idea what seems to be the problem with win2k3?
mabye its a switch i have to (de)activate on the win2k3-side?

regards
volker
