The simple answer to your question is yes.
As an example, as you can see from my .sig, my domain is vidiot.com,
which is on the internet via DSL. I have two Windoze 98SE boxes on my
internal net. The Linux box has two ethernet cards. One for the outside
and one for the inside. I have one of the 98SE boxes configured so that it
will get to the outside via the Linux box and box Linux boxes mount four
different filesystems/directories from the Linux box. As you figured,
Samba is used as the mechanism for allowing the mounting. Because I
do firewire stuff on the Windoze boxes, they are not allowed to mount
each other :-) I just transfer stuff to the Linux box and then copy it to
the other Windoze box.
I use firestarter to do firewalling with iptables and it also starts
ipmasqerading(spelling?), which allows the PeeCee to get to the outside.
Each of the boxes are assigned IP addresses by me.
You MUST download the latest version of Samba from the official site and
compile it. The version that comes with RedHat is busted and does not
work correctly.
BTW, each of the Windoze boxes can print to the HP PostScript printer that
I have attached to the Linux box, via Samba.
If you wanna see my Samba config file, I can post it here. You also have
to config the Windoze box not use use encrypted passwords, otherwise Samba
won't work. I'll have to dig those instructions out of my email.
Once I got the latest version of Samaba running with RH 7.1, it connects
extremely fast at Windoze bootup and just keeps on tickin'. I had a Hell-uv
a time getting Samba to connect with the Windoze boxes under the older version
and 6.x. It refused to work under 7.1.
