 At the end of  /var/log/samba/log.thinkpad600e (thinkpad600e is the 
name of the Win98 machine):

That works -- partly. I can now access /home/rsteff. I also see 
individual directories that I have declared to be shared using Ubuntu's 
GUI file browser. However, I'm still asked for a password to access 
them, and while the "Resource" in the Win98 login dialog is different -- 
it says \\MOONGUIDE\PHOTOS (or whatever directory I'm trying to access 
-- it still thinks the password is incorrect.

And, I still get the above set of error messages:

[2008/10/28 15:45:25, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792)
  create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators

Thanks for the help.
