I've got pretty much the same set up here, all my users (mostly family) has
the same userid and password on both the linux box and the win95 box (BTW, I'm
still running Suse 5.1 here, though I have updated some of the packages since
my original installation, For instance Samba 2.0 and diald .98?).
At any rate, as far as my handling users and groups goes, I do most of that
(if not all) via Yast, since it is so easy to Create/Select a group, and then
move to the users area and use F3 to pick what users you want to have in that
group.
As far as my handling ownerships of files and directories, I'm a long time
user of Norton Commander for Dos, and I've found that the Midnight Commander
in Linux is an excellent substitute (with quite a bit more power). So, I just
select the files I want to change ownerships on and then pull down the menu to
chmod them (sometimes however, advanced chown works better as it allows you to
set both ownerships and access rights at one "fell stroke":=).>> create mode =
