[Samba] Samba doesn't ask for a password

Hi,
I installed Samba 3.0.2a (on Mandrake 10.0). I created 2 users on the Linux
box, which I "converted" to Samba users (using de Webmin interface). The
Samba server is running.
On a Win98 I log in (log in the win98 box -- no domain set, only workgroup!)
using one of the users I created. I do not use any password, neither is
Win98 configured to verify any passwords. I simply type in a username, no
password. It's that old simple network login window.
Well, now I open \\vovo\udo (the user I used to log in to the win98 machine)
and I can see and edit the files of this users' home directory on the Linux
(Samba) server. I can even open \\vovo\horst, which is the other users'
home, but read-only in that case. But I need samba to ask for a password,
which it never did. I deleted de .pwl files on the windows machine and got
the same behavior.
How do I tell Samba to ask for the users' password to connect to one users'
home? After reading the docs I googled for a long time now, and haven't
found anything that helped me to solve this. Actually, the way I undestood
the docs, it should be pretty simple to do this, but I simply can't figure
it out!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Btw, below is my smb.conf. It may be a little messed up now, 'cause I
already tried a lot of different options.
