[ale] samba 2.2 and win9x clients

Setup:
linux box running samba (2.0.18 upgraded to 2.2)
    (samba box doing it's best to imitate a pdc)
nt4 server (not a pdc or bdc, just plain server)
nt4 workstation
win9x workstation

While running the older samba, the win9x box could log into the domain
and access shares on the samba box and the nt4 server box. Since
upgrading samba, users on the win9x boxes can still log into the domain,
scripts run, etc. just fine. However, they can not access anything on
the nt4 server now. The /var/log/messages shows an error each time:
May  5 17:50:05 smtp PAM_unix[17223]: could not identify user (from
getpwnam(GARY))

The only thing I can see wrong is the username is in all caps.

Observances:
Each user can log into the domain fine from the nt4 server console.
NT4 workstation can access NT4 server shares fine regardless of user.
