Nik,
My smb.conf file is as follow:
[global]
# Sets the workgroup to which things will be served
workgroup = PVCS_SAMBA
# Turns ON/OFF browse list from this server
;browse list = yes
# List of shares that will always appear in browse lists.
auto services = public
# Sets the NetBIOS name by which a Samba server is known, or primary
# name if NetBIOS aliases exist.
;netbios name = tpas
# Adds additional NetBIOS names by which a Samba server will
advertise
# itself.
;netbios aliases = tpas
# Sets the name that appears beside a server in browse lists.
# Variables: v% (Samba version number) and h% (hostname)
;server string = TPAS's Samba %v on %L (%h)
# Sets the comment that appears beside a share in a NET VIEW or the
# details list of a Microsoft directory window.
;comment = "Samba version %v"
# Sets a command to run as the user before connecting to the share.
;preexec = csh -c 'echo /var/opt/samba -M %m -I %I'
&
# If Yes, logs connections to a file (or shared memory) accessible
to
# SMBSTATUS
;status = yes
# Allows a share to be announced in browse lists.
;browseable = yes
# Uses Windows NT-style password encryption.

;null passwords = yes
# Sets password-security policy.
# If security=share, services have a shared password, available to
# everyone.
# If security=user, users have (Unix) accounts and passwords.
# If security=server, users have accounts and passwords and a
# separate machine authenticates them for Samba.
# If security=domain, full NT-domain authentication is done.
security = user
# Sets the candidacy of the server when electing a browser master.
# Used with the DOMAIN MASTER and LOCAL MASTER options. You can set
# a higher value than a OS is you want to win.
# Windows 95/98 uses 1, Windows NT client uses 17, and Windows
# NT server uses 33.
os level = 34
# Stands for election as the local master browser.
local master = yes
# If YES, Samba is preferred to become the master browser.
# Causes Samba to call a browsing election when it comes online.
preferred master = yes
# Become a domain master browser list collector if possible for the
# entire workgroup/domain.
domain master = yes
# Allows Windows 95/98 or NT clients to logon to a NT-like domain.
domain logons = yes
# Sets the DNS name or IP address of the WINS server.
;wins server = 129.10.1.11
# If set to YES, and if WINS SERVER=YES, look up hostnames in DNS if
# they are not found using WINS.
;dns proxy = no
;[homes]

;path = /%u

[public]

Thanks.

And you've done the registry edit to allow plain text passwords? (I think
this is required for NT, but I don't know about 98 - possibly not).
Can you send us a copy of your smb.conf file?
