The home directory in win98 should be taken care of by the
'home\\server\dir\dir ' parameter in the [global] section, and another
section
called [homes] where you put the comment, browsable, readonly, etc..
Browsing the server using win98 should show you a dir called 'homes'
that
gives you access to the home dir of the username you are logged in with.
I use this for a mixed win98/win2k/winxp network without any problems.

Subject: [Samba] Win98 clients accessing Samba file server.
HI All
I'm in the process of setting up my first Linux box at work, a basic file
server for all 20+ Win clients (I'm sick of paying M$ CAL) all have a
'home'
directory and all share a 'shared' directory. What my problem is,
everything
is working OK with WinXP/2000 I can see the shared directory and our own
home directory on the Samba box.
With Win98 I can only see and access the shared directory. I can see and
access the home directory only if I set up a 'share' for them and give
the
directory read/write access for everyone, not what I really desire.
I have gone though all the doc's that I can find and I can't find any
answers. As it's working for the WinXP/2000 I figured it probably a Win98
problem? but they are all set up according the HOW TO from Samba, as far as
I can tell.
Using RH8 & Samba 2.2.7a, have WinNT4 server as PDC and the network is
purely TCP/IP.
All and any help will be greatly appreciated.
