samba

I have been having a problem with samba. Every time that I connect to the
linux box with windows 98, it asks me for a password unless I enable the
guest account. No password will work. If I enable the guest account then
it will let me in to browse the resources but will not let me connect
without a password. I created a user, smithg and added and entry into the
smb.conf. the following are 2 entries out of the system. The first I have
no problem getting into but the second never works for me. Any ideas.

I copied the passwd file to /etc/smbpasswd and also made a link from
/usr/private/sbmpasswd to /etc/smbpasswd because to addtosmbpasswd fails and
states the file should be located in /usr/private/smbpasswd. Any ideas.

Also I have the system set to Share level security.

Thanks

I hope this is some help. the above eg. is for a public share accessible
to everyone. if you wish to reduce to a group just remove #ed out are and
add group.
