First, before anybody else mentions it. This List is contributed to
NT clients and SAMBA, As Windows 9x has no PDC funktionality as Domain,
trusted Domains, User Rights, File Permissions....

2nd)
It would be better if you paste the whole smb.conf.

Do you use encrypted Passwords and have you added each user via smbpasswd ?
Do the Win98 Computers see you Linux Box in the Network neighbourhood ?
Can you reach your box via Ping ?
What do the Logfiles complain about ?

Ciao
