First problem is that there are two different versions of samba - 2.0.x and
2.2.x - now avaialable; the latter works better with win2Kpro.

Second, it's not clear if you are inserting the samba server into an existing
NT/Win2K domain, a Win9X workgroup, etc.

Third, the authenticating agent may be the UNIX box running samba, a domain
controller, etc.

Finally, are you encrypting passwords (probably not, if Win9X only).

There are now several books on samba setup and configuration.

If you are connecting a single Win9X box to a single samba server, then
things get simpler.  This appears to be discussed in the DOMAIN.txt file 
which is part of the samba source distribution, but someone may suggest
other sources of information.

There is a "cheat sheet" for 4.2 at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/
which may apply to you.  This applies to 2.0.x, not 2.2 (i.e., doesn't have
latest Win2K support in it).
