[Samba] Working simultaneously with the same user account

I would like to  authenticate several desktops with the samba server 
using the same user name and password. Is it possible for 5 desktops to 
work simultaneously using the same user name and password in the same 
share on the samba server? Are there any downsides or possible problems 
with this approach? Permissions are inheritable and based on groups:


# mkdir /media/test
# chmod -R 770 /media/test
# chmod g+s /media/test
# chown -R root:users /media/test

# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = TESTSERVER
security = user

[test]
path = /media/test
read only = No
store dos attributes = yes
inherit permissions = yes
