If your psasword on the linux box is different than you windows
nt domain password, you wil get prompted.  If you are using 
plain text psaswords, you will always get prompted.

You will either need to enable password encryption in Samba
(ENCRYPTION.txt) or enable lain text passwords on the Windows 98 client
(Win98_PlainPassword.reg)


All these comments are based on sketchy details of your setup.
Will need more information to provide more detailed answers.
