Robert,
This is what I did to get rid of the infamous IPC$ message box:
1) Read the file encryption.txt that comes with the Samba source.
2) Run mksmbpasswd.sh according to the instructions on encryption.txt.
3) You may need to create a samba password for each user running smbpasswd
as root.
4) Ask each user to run smbpasswd and modify the password to be the same as
the one he/she uses in W98.
5) Put encrypt passwords = yes in smb.conf
6) Stop and start Samba.
7) Hopefully it will work.
I use shadow passwords, Windows 95 OSR2, Samba1.9.18
Good luck.
