I've done it with Samba and NT; it works. Of course it's best to do this via a VPN setup. If you can't do that at least tell Samba to use encrypted passwords and make sure the Windows boxes are setup the same way; NT 4.0 SP3 or later defaults to encrypted passwords, and I think Win98 and later default that way also.
