I have a dual boot Linux/Win95 (99% of time in Linux) and a single boot Win95 machine. I have samba on the Linux machine serving the vfat partitions using share level access. I have no problems. You just have to mount the vfat partions with the permission of the guest account that is specified in smb.conf, I use the nobody/nogroup account. I use autofs for this and it works great.
