Are you trying to connect as a different UNIX account or a non-existent
unix account?

If you are trying too do the latter, you can accomplish this by enabling
encrypted passwords but then you have the entire issue of password
synchronization, etc...  A possible solution would be to setup a second
samaba server ( possibly on the same machine ) which uses encrypted
passwords while you main one does not.  The second server could offer
only the neccessary shares which you needed.

If you are trying to connect as a different UNIX account, then you will
need to something like this which works from NT.  I don't think it will
work from 95....maybe try using the \\server\share%username syntax?  I
don't know never tried it from 95 :-}

	server1's IP address 192.0.0.2

	net use i: \\server1\share1 /user:user1
	net use j: \\192.0.0.2\share2 /user:user2
