The fear is that my computer is a potential server for the LAN and therefore poses a security problem. I find this strange, but have no way of refuting it.

The only way is to persuade LAN administrators that your skills are sufficient for administering the Linux machine - they must trust you. They won't control the machine and won't be able to check if you install SW (for instance some backdoored versions) which can threaten the LAN security. IMHO, it's not about the quality of Linux (which is good enough), it's about the quality of the new administrator.
