Tried this... didn't help. An update: I got the Win2K machine to finally join the domain using "root" and it's password. I hate that, but I am using a different password for the samba side than the Unix side.
Also, I can log in using my regular domain account on the Win2K server perfectly. So, obviously samba is configured properly, and there's something specific to Win98 that I am missing... It is ultimately consistent in logging in every other time... even after a logout, it takes two login attempts to get back in on the Win98 client. Wierd.
