Shot in the dark, but does any of this apply to you?  (from the 2.0.3
announce page):

Several parameters have changed their default values.  The most
important of these is that the default security mode is now user level
security rather than share level security.

This (incompatible) change was made to ease new Samba installs as user
level security is easier to use for Windows 95/98 andWindows NT
clients.

********IMPORTANT NOTE****************
If you have no "security=" line in the [global] section of your
current smb.conf and you update to Samba 2.0 you will need to add the
line :

security=share

to get exactly the same behaviour with Samba 2.0 as you did with
previous versions of Samba.
********END IMPORTANT NOTE*************
In addition, Samba now defaults to case sensitivity options that match
a Windows NT server precisely, that is, case insensitive but case
preserving. The default format of the smbpasswd file has also been
changed for this release, although the new tools will read and write
the old format, for backwards compatibility.
