As an addendum to my original message (copied below), I have tried a couple of
things and have found the following:
Running a one line login script, eg
net use * \\server\share
with an echo command produces the following output:
The syntax is incorrect.
For help, type NET USE /? at the command prompt.
Yet running the same script one the machine as soon after login as possible
results in he drive being mapped correctly!
Any ideas anyone?

Subject: Win9x login script drive mapping problem
I am having problems with a Windows 98 machine that is connecting to our Linux
Samba server. The problem is that I cannot get it to automatically map users
drives when they log on. The login script *appears* to run okay, but the drives
are simply not mapped.
Under Windows NT/2K this has not been a problem.
I have tried creating a one line login script along the lines of
net use * \\server\share
And even that doesnt work!
I suspect that I am doing something daft, but if anyone could give me a few
pointers, that would be most useful!
My smb.conf is attached at the bottom of the e-mail
