If you do the non public thing on samba and win98 you will most likely have some problems getting to the shared resource WIN98 USES ENCRYTPED PASSWORDS. The ENCRYTION.TXT (or something close to that) file in the samba docs does a good job of explaining it. It works very well for me. There is a linuxconf samba setup module that wa installed by default on my RH6.0 box that I used the second time around and everything went swimmingly. Hope it helps lots of references in the archives of this list and the newsgroups to help.
