samba - Jul 1999 - Connecting to Samba from 95/98 with a user account

Hi,

I don't know if this was discussed ad finitum but I can't seem to find
an
answer in the archive or FAQ. I need to connect to a Samba server using an
account even from machines which use 95/98. For NT, there is no problem
because I can specify the user, but 95/98 only allows me to specify the
password to connect to the $IPC. Any hints on where I can find a
workaround to this problem? Thanks

a) Use a valid samba login name in "Microsoft Network" logon.
or 
b) have win9x machines logon to samba as guests; put
map to guest = bad user
in smb.conf
or
c) use "username map" to map the names, with which win9x machine
logon, to
valid samba/unix username.
