Well, I removed the "hosts allow" statement. I no longer get these error
messages - I get silent failures now. That is, the W98 box can not use
any of the shares. It gives authentication errors and requests passwords
for IPC$.
It works fine for Windows 2000 clients.
There's nothing useful in the samba logs... so I'm not sure where the
problem is.
