Re: Samba and Windows 98

The Samba server needs to be set to use share level security, which isn't
the default.  User level security is - which is where you're having the
problem.

With share level security, you simply need to enter a password that is
valid for any user on the Linux system; you can also control which
passwords will work.

I can email you an example if you need it.
