Some versions of NT are prone to allowing any user to log in, no matter what the password. This is fine for NT, as it knows the user is just a guest, but we can't tell, so 'security=server' fails. So we check, and clock up the bad logins. Instead, you should set 'security=domain' and join the domain per the documentation (smbpasswd -j -Uadministrator -r PDC should do that) This uses the native NT logon protocols, which don't suffer from this kind of bug.
