Hi Tom,

With security=user you need to set up your samba server as a PDC for
your network.  This also means you'll have to either 1) store encrypted
passwords on the samba server for user authentication since Win98SE uses
encrypted password by default, or 2) change the registry setting of the
Win98SE machines to use plaintext password.

The Samba-HOWTO-Collection doc that comes with Samba package explains
how to set up a Samba server as PDC.

No, this is not related to Samba.  If FTP connection request is denied,
then you need to make sure your FTP daemon is running.
