&nbsp; All it depends on the version of Samba. some Samba versions use encrypted password, where as win98 uses plain password (Probably). It may be the problem.<br />
<br />
<br />
normally root password won't be helpfull across network. create a new user and try to access. For better reference use RedHat Linux Unleashed.<br />
<br />
If u got solution, inform in this forum<br />

I think you need to add some user for the samba.<br />
Try smbuseradd. Also read the manual

Samba Problem  !!

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.
