To start with edit your smb.conf change or uncomment encrypt passwords = yes
Then if you want to make it a NT domain ( which is preferable) domain master = yes preferred master = yes
restart Samba by issuing the command as root - /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
issue the command - smbadduser user_on_unix:user_on_windows where user_on_windows is any arbit name ... i prefer to keep both the same. give the password ... nothing ( ie blank) is a good choice to start with
In your network config in windoze98 check (th \e checkbox) logon to NT Domain (use the domain as MYGROUP) Reboot and in login the login window give domain name as MYGROUP and user_in_win with the appropriate password.
now u shud be able to browse your home directories in Linux. If the box asks for a password give the password provided in smbadduser.
This shud do the work. Howeevr first try to check with the connectivity and then buil dup security.
Hope this helps. Goldwyn :o)
