Here are some suggestions. Set the hosts allow (it never hurts, althought it will not solve your issue).
Find out what the logs are saying when you try to connect with the Win98 machine. Samba logs a extremely useful in finding out when things do not work. If you are logging into the Acorn machine and the Windows 98 machine with the same username you may want to try to connect to the share with username redhat\username (where username is trhe one you log onto the machines with). Honestly your smb.conf file look ok (except for the fact that you did not assign users to shares as you said). The samba log files should tell you exactly what is going on. I have a feeling that some username is getting passed to the samba server and the auhentication is failing because that usrname does not exist in the smbpasswd file. I also do not think it is an excrpytion problem, since you have it set :), but your symptoms are a common problem when encrypted paswords are not set and Win98 users cannot access shares.
