Encrypted passwords and OS2/Win95/Win98

My LAN is running Samba v1.9.18p10 under RedHat Linux v5.2. Using the SMB
services are Win95 and OS/2 clients. It's all running fine.
I will soon be adding Win98, though, and I understand that there is a
question of password encryption. I'm concerned how the
encrypted/plain-text communication of password will affect my existing
configuration.
If I reconfigure Samba to use encrypted passwords, won't that effectively
disabling logging into the shares from Win95 and OS/2?
Is there a way to force Win98 to use plain-text passwords? (Security isn't an
issue here.)
Is there a way to force Win95 and OS/2 to use encrypted passwords?
Thanks.
