Well I have a similar setup and I use
security=user

and

encrypt passwords=yes

just set up the local smbpasswd file and you should be good to go.

also not sure if you realize that you need to log into the win98 box with
the username that has rights to the share.
either that or, IIRC, use the username map=/path/to/username-map

hope that helps
