samba - Jan 2000 - Problems with a Win98 client attached to a Linux samba server via ISDN-PPP

Hi!
Just today, I managed to attach my Win98 client at home to my remote network
which is controlled by a Linux samba 2.0.5a server.

The TCP/IP connection is working just fine, I'm able to access all services
like ftp, telnet, ...

The Win98 client is connected to the network using the DialUp-Network. The
option "log on to remote network" is activated and as far as I can
conclude from the output of the Windows DUN, username and password are confirme
d.

I can even see \\server in the Network Neighborhood. But when I double-click on
\\server I get an error message stating that \\server cannot be accessed because
I don't habe sufficient rights to do so.
After attempting this, the following lines are added to log.smb:

[2000/01/29 18:13:20, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532)
  smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'werner'
[2000/01/29 18:13:20, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532)
  smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'werner'

Then I try to mount a share manually via a net use command:
net use f: \\server\data

There will be an error message saying that the supplied password is incorrect.
The following appears in log.smb:

[2000/01/29 18:13:42, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532)
  smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'werner'

After that, I'm prompted for a password, which I then enter. The operation
then completes successfully, the share is mounted to drive f: and log.smb got a
little bit longer:

[2000/01/29 18:13:49, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(521)
  erde (192.168.255.20) connect to service data as user praxis (uid=500,
gid=101) (pid 12229)

With erde being the local machine and praxis being the user to access the share
data from within the network (I guess this is due to force user = praxis in
smb.conf).

Why does it not work automatically? Is there a way to work around this?

Here are the relevant parts of my smb.conf:

[global]
   netbios name = server
   workgroup = praxis
   security = user
   encrypt passwords = yes

   interfaces = 192.168.0.10/24 192.168.255.10/24
   hosts allow = 192.168.0. 192.168.255. 127.

   keep alive = 30
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   oplocks = yes
   write raw = yes
   read raw = yes

   domain master = yes
   local master = yes
   preferred master = yes
   os level = 65
   wins support = yes
   time server = yes

   guest account = nobody
   map to guest = Bad User
  
   domain logons = yes
   logon script = %U.bat

   browseable = no

[netlogon]
   path = /netlogon
   public = yes
   read only = yes  

[data]
   comment = Praxis-Data
   path = /home/praxis/data
   read only = no
   browseable = yes
   public = no
   create mode = 0775 
   force user = praxis

Thanks for your suggestions and have a good time!
