Is Anybody able to Share Windows 98 Resources?

     I don't have any problems with my Windows 98 machines accessing the
Samba shares.  However, having Windows 98 setup as the Access Control
Server, it's impossible to share my Windows 98 drives.  Right clicking on
the drive, then clicking on Add, to Add Users, brings up a screen that
doesn't have a list of users.
     Does anyone know of any other way to add users to the shared
resource?  Has anyone had any success with using Samba as the Access
Controller instead of using Windows NT?
     I'm using samba-2.2.0.alpha0.
     Below is my smb.conf file:
