Win NT is useing encrypted passwords .... you have 2 options based on you
situation.

1: Tell WinNT to use plain text passwords
2: Tell Linux to use encrypted passwords

If you do option 2 Win95 *should* pick up the changes.

All the information you need will be in you samba docs
/usr/doc/samba-<ver>/  (under RedHat, somewhere similar under other distros)

workgroup BUT I didn't look at it very hard :(
