If you don't care about encrypted passwords search the W98 installation
cd for Ptxt_on right click on that file and select "install."  This will
cause w98 to send plain test passwords to samba.  You will at minimum
have to log out of your w98 session or reboot to make the change take
effect.  Can't remember exactly.
