Good Morning All, I figured out a solution this problem.
I dumped the results of testparm to a file (testparm -v > smb_dump-file-01. dos charset = CP850, unix charset = UTF-8. local display = LOCALE. I set the unix charset variable in smb.conf to unix charset = iso8859-1, restarted smb, and verified unix charset set to iso8859 using testparm -v > smb_dump-file-02. I verified that my locale was ISO-8859-1 using locale charmap. I tried syncing up UTF-8 as suggested, but could not get it to work correctly with the alt-characters. I want to thank Andrew for pointing me in the right direction.

The server is acting as the PDC. No Windows servers are providing authentication. Windows 2000 clients. testparm -v | grep "unix charset" results in UTF-8. locale charmap results in ISO-8859-1. using smbpasswd. Before upgrading the server, I was able to authenticate users to the domain on the Win2k boxes with alt-characters (alt-0162=¢) in their passwords. Since upgrading the server, users who had these type of characters in their passwords with passwords that have not changed, are able to authenticate, but changing a user's password to a new password that contains these characters results in not being able to authenticate. Any ideas?
