Well, I removed the "hosts allow" statement. I no longer get these error 
messages - I get silent failures now. That is, the W98 box can not use 
any of the shares. It gives authentication errors and requests passwords 
for IPC$.

It works fine for Windows 2000 clients.

There's nothing useful in the samba logs... so I'm not sure where the 
problem is.
