setting up new samba

["Chris R. Martin" <nakor@texas.net>]

I recently installed the 2.0.5a-1 version of samba, and now I've seemed to 
lost access to shares stored on this machine from my win98 boxes. I'm using 
the same smb.conf file, but windoze either says "no permission to access 
resources" or asks for a password for "//SERVER/$IPC" or something like that.

Basically I want all directories to be publicly accessible except for 
users' home directories (which is what I had before).

What are the important parameters to set for this kind of access?

Thanks,
Chris
