|     I think there are different methods of encryption. IIRC >=NT4 SP6
|     had a more secure encryption system. I *think* 9x shared the earlier

|     This is of the top of my head, but I hope it helps.

*passes hammer and mutters "man smbpasswd"*

You'll need to find out weather or not the W98 box is set to encrypt
passwords, i know by default it does, but this _may_ have been disabled.

Just an idea.. let us know how it goes.
