I've got an older version of samba installed (2.0.6) on a
NetBSD-1.4 server. It talks just fine to my Win2K PDC.

IIRC, there was something on the samba mailing lists about
using a domain/workgroup with an even number of letters that caused
problems.

Here is my global section:

[global]
   workgroup = elfin
   server string = Samba Server
   dont descend = /dev, /proc, /kern, /root, /stand

   load printers = yes
   guest account = nobody
   debug level = 1
   max log size = 100
   lock directory = /var/run/samba

   security = domain
   password server = ntpdc
   encrypt passwords = yes

   domain master = no
   preferred master = no
   local master = yes
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
