Why do you have a path parameter in the global section? This should be server
and/or daemon specific values only. default service and printing can be
removed also since you don;t utilize these parameters.
As for the password i'd say that it is because you are using the wrong
passwords ---- 'encrypt password = yes' . Windows 98 doesn't use plaintext
passwords.
As another note, you need to specify the access control by setting the
security parameter in the global section. Since you have the guest account
set to 'becky' ---- then you probably need to use 'security = share'.
otherwise just remove the 'guest account' parameter and then set your
'security = user'. Both end up with the same result.
HTH.
