Because there is a lack of a security model in win9x (95,98,Me) the user logged in is effectively the "su" (superuser). If im understanding you correctly, you mean you cant see /usr/lib when you ls / (???) Can you see usr?
Take a look at the manual, this will give you more info on this topic and is also a good source of you have problems:

Hello,
Could somebody help me be THE superuser on my computer based on W98 ?
the only line I have in /etc/passwd is :
fernandez::500:544::/home/fernandez:/bin/bash
and in /etc/group :
unknown::544:
So, I can access, for example, to /usr/lib, but I can't see this directory when I launch "ls /"
Which means I only have user permissions.
Thanks for aswering and sorry for the noise, if you think it is.
bye
jo
