This section reads:
If computers running Windows 98 will be providing File and Printer
Sharing Services for NetWare networks, then the NetWare server
providing access validation can be configured with a special
WINDOWS_PASSTHRU account. This Special account is used to support
pass-through validation for user level security. It is not necessary
for users who already have an account on that server.

long as the person logging on to the server has an account.
