There are two possible solutions: - Enable encrypted passwords in Samba. This is the best solution if the Samba server is being accessed by a WinNT boxes, or a mixture of Win95/Win98/WinNT clients. However, password encryption in samba requires another password file (/usr/local/private/smbpasswd), which you would create, populate and maintain. - Disable the requirement of encrypted passwords in you Win98 clients. This needs a single addition to the Win98 registry: go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP" and add the value "EnablePlainTextPassword" = 1 (dword). Then reboot. You may want to read some documents in /usr/local/share/doc/samba, such as Win95.txt (yes, Win95) or ENCRYPTION.txt.
