samba - Apr 2000 - After upgrade to 2.0.6, Win98 users can't connect to Samba shares

Hello everyone -
	I just upgraded from Samba 1.9.16p9 to 2.0.6 last week.  Samba is running 
on my Digital UNIX 4.0E (aka Tru64 aka OSF1) workstation, and I have 
various Win'95, Win'98, and NT 4.0 (SP4 & SP6) computers accessing
the
Samba shares.  One share is read-only, and one is read/write to specific 
users (I've included my smb.conf file below).  If a users accesses the 
read-only or read/write share from an NT 4.0 machine, then Samba accepts 
the connection.  If the same user tries to connect from a Win'98 machine, 
he or she gets the message "The password is incorrect.  Try again." 
The
user name and password are the same on the Digital UNIX, Win'98, and NT 4.0 
machines.  Both the Win'98 and the NT 4.0 machines have the plain password 
registry patch applied.

Looking at the log files, the old version of Samba used to record this when 
connecting from Win'98 & Win'95 to the read-only connection:
04/06/00 10:29:40 inspiron (169.228.93.215) connect to service rootdir as 
user guest (uid=8123,gid=15) (pid 4521)
04/06/00 17:23:05 inspiron (169.228.93.215) closed connection to service 
rootdir

Now, with 2.0.6, the log file for this particular Win'98 computer records 
this instead:
[2000/04/26 15:38:08, 1] smbd/reply.c:(909)
   Rejecting user 'adina': authentication failed

But as I said earlier, if user "adina" tries to connect from an NT 4.0
machine, the connection works fine.    One other difference about the new 
version of Samba:  The read-only connection now requires a password & the 
log file records the user's name, whereas the old version recorded the 
connection as "guest" & didn't require a password.

I'm stumped as to what's going on here.  Clearly (to me) the difference
is
a result of the upgrade.  Why is the new version of Samba acting 
differently, and how do I fix it so the Windows 98 & 95 network shares work 
again?

My smb.conf file:

    printing = bsd

    load printers = yes

Any and all help appreciated!
