OK, before you see the question about using un-encrypted passwords in 98 don't go and do so. You're smb.conf file shows that you are enabling encrypted passwords which is sufficient. When you create a user, the user must have a linux account with a password and then an smb account with the same username and password. If you haven't done this, the order is...
useradd tom <enter> passwd tom <enter> <enter password><enter> <re-enter password><enter> smbpasswd -a tom <enter> <enter password><enter> <re-enter password><enter> (I believe it asks to confirm) I'm not sure you have to restart smb, but I would just for the first time as a test to make sure the test has the best chance of success. Easiest way to restart smb is... service smb restart Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

If so, did you set the Samba passwords for the users? If not, did you make the regestry change in Windows to use un-encripted passwords? Are you using user or share passwords?
