A network consisting of a RH6.0 server with Windows98 clients, offers a folder on the server for clients access. What the clients should see is \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME, but instead see \\SERVERNAME\IPC$. So no password works and clients are blocked. Why does InterProcess Communication show up as the share, and how to change it to SHARENAME?
 
In /etc/groups I have: sharename:x:501:
in /etc/password is: sharename:x:101:501::/home/sharename:/bin/bash
a ls -l shows: drwxrws--- 3 502 sharename .... sharename
 
In /etc/smb.conf, is a "sharename" share, which is rw,  public, valid user = @sharename. In the [global] section is defined workgroup = workgroup, hosts -allow is ol, sercurity = user.
