[olug] Samba problems

I've got a Red hat 9 box setup as a Samba server setup using Samba 2.2.7
and I'm running into a VERY odd issue. I'm able to access the shares
fine from any windows box (I've tried WinNT, Win2K, and WinXP), but when
I try to access the shares from dos with the same username I get the
following error "The password is invalid for \\server\share". I know
that the dos client is logging on right because I can connect to windows
boxen shares just fine.

Here is what I get on the samba server log

[2004/01/05 15:56:36, 0]
rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_net_sam_logon_internal(406)
  cli_net_sam_logon_internal: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
[2004/01/05 15:56:36, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1619)
  domain_client_validate: unable to validate password for user INSTALLER
in domain  to Domain controller *. Error was NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD.
[2004/01/05 15:56:36, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1369)
  unable to open passdb database.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
