Absolutely I do not know this stuff. :-)

Ah, nope: I need instructions for the Windows machines too. For example,
do I create one account on each machine called "guest"? How do I create
accounts on Windows 98 machines? If I have two Linux boxes, and create
an account called "guest" on each, will they both be able to access a
share on the Win2K box, if the Win2k box has an account called "guest"
and that Win2K account can read and write the share directory?

I don't understand this stuff!

I have tried to read the documentation, and I just don't get it :(
