group policies under win98

[Andrew Bell]

I am having a problem setting up group policies under windows 98.  I think I
have successfully set them up, it just that when a user logs in, it doesn't
seem to know that a user is part of that group...  I know that the
config.pol file is being downloaded from the server, because I'll make
changes to the default user and the changes will take effect.  I even tried
deletelying the default user and it still says that it logged in with
privlege USER.  I have searched all through the logs and have found other
people who have had this similiar problem, but I could not find an
explanation/solution to this problem.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  I am also sending my smb.conf and group file.  Everything
seems to work except for the policies.
