This setup sounds acceptable. But mind your use of passwords, esp. in Win95-98 as they can cause problems. Make sure to set up the pw accounts on the linux box the same as on the win boxes.

In peer-to-peer network, I sugest that you use 'security = share' on the samba server, otherwise your user will need user names and password synchronized with the linux pc.

Be specially carefull creating shares, so the users will have the write permissions. Use SWAT for better results (Web browse on TCP port 901 of the linux box).
