Okay, I got it to connect.  Had a username issue in my user.map file.  I had
it set to:  "shawnf = 1000" which is the uid# of my account on the linux
box.  Once I changed the second entry to equal my win98 login, I could
connect.

Now I get a permissions issue on my home directory.  I can write a file
there, but now when I go to either modify a file or read one, it say it "has
either been deleted or renamed.  Press F5 to refresh."  I do, and still get
the same error.  The other share I can do what I want, I opened it up to
777.

Thought I'd pass on the connect issue in case others ran into the same
thing.

Thanks for the help,
Shawn
