In Redhat did you create a user with the same login name and password as the Win 98 box uses?

Samba configurations normally have linux login and passwords configured as the default.

So make sure that the RH server has a user name and password for the win 98 user.

Then make sure that the win98 user log's into win 98 with that name and password.

you need to create a smb user on your RH box.

smbuseradd smbusername:rhusername

this maps a smb user to a linux user, if the users have the same name both will be the same. From network neighborhood when you click on the shared folder you should get a prompt for a user/password.
You will need to make sure you have your linux shares set up in smb.conf also.
