Check /usr/doc/samba/ENCRYPTION.txt
or equivlent.

I think that explains it far more succiently than I can.

In a nutshell, either you disable Encrypted passwords on Win98 or you
enable encrypted passwords on Samba. Problem is, you can't have both. :(

I don't understand the question.

I don't follow this question either.

WINS is something you don't need. YOu're not implementing cross subnet
browsing so it's rather useless. For that matter, you can just make
DNS->WINS proxy out of samba so the whole point is moot.

No.. it only lists shares.

smbclient -U username //servername/sharename should work (or if it's
<1.9.18 \\\\servername\\sharename)

Never got that to do what I wanted.
