[snip] The problem is- I can log in, I can see samba shares, but when I try to share my win folder from w98 box I have to add a user to access list. And that's what I cannot do, cause windows says: "You cannot view the list of users at this time. Please try again later".

In your DHCP server config do you have?:
option netbios-name-servers x.x.x.x;
option netbios-node-type 8;
This will help MS Windows clients to resolve the domain controller name to
it's IP address. Timinig is very critical in environments that use User
Level Access Control.
Make sure that you have a NETLOGON share (even if you do not use it!). ie:
[netlogon]
path = /blah/blah
; (path can be /tmp if you like)
available = yes
browseable = No
read only = yes
Will do.
I know it sounds obvious, but make sure that for each MS Windows client
user (logon name) you have an entry in smbpasswd with:
smbpasswd -a 'logon name'
If the MS Windows logon name has a space of a '_' in it, then use a
username on your Unix/Linux system that is fewer than 8 characters and
does NOT have a space or '_' char in it, but then add to smb.conf
[globals]:
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
And then in /etc/samba/smbusers put (for example):
root = Administrator
fredm = "Fred Morse"
maryk = mary_katrinski
