Windows 98 will send encrypted no matter what you do. First off -- you must configure Windows 98 to login individual users. See the Samba web site for more information about this. In your smb.conf file, you must have 'encrypted = yes' uncommented. Also, you must initialize the smbpasswd file with the passwords of the user on the Windows 98 box. That username and password must match the username password of the user account on the Linux box, too. Remember that usernames are case sensitive. user 'jsmith' is different from 'Jsmith'. If your networking is all set up correctly and working flawlessly, you should be able to connect from the Windows box to the Samba share on the Linux box for that same user. I strongly reccomend you either read the documentation on the Samba site or read the Samba book published by O'Reilly and Associates. Also do carefully read your smb.conf file.
