I did it, but nothing had changed.
however maybe domain and workgroup are not the same thing, because 
also on my home pc (which runs a samba server) domain is set to the 
name of the host.

it is so, but "net getdomainsid" says "could not get domain SID".

still nothing :(
I assumed with /var/lib/samba/wins* you did mean actually 
/var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged, because /var/lib/samba/wins* 
doesn't match nothing.

not sure I understand you correctly.
the public share has already "public=yes", which should be the same 
as "guest ok=yes".
I added "guest account=ftp" in smb.conf and did "smbpasswd -a ftp" 
without supplying a password, but still nothing.

I even tried with secutity share, and this way I'm able to access 
the share, but only with barbara's password.
if I try to access without a password it says "server not using user 
level security and no password supplied".
neither with security share I'm able to access the share from the 
win98 machine; it says (translated from italian, the english text 
could be different) "unable to access \\BARBARA\Ufficio. unable to 
find share name". odd, given that I access to it locally with 
"smbclient //BARBARA/Ufficio".
I can't even see win98's share from fedora, nor I can mount it with 
"mount -t cifs //greco/Ufficio2 /mnt/win98"; it says "mount error 
112 = Host is down", but the share name is indeed //greco/Ufficio2, 
and "smbclient -L greco" confirms it.

I'm lost :(
