Samba can become part of a domain: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/domain-member.html ... and samba can authenticate via NIS: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-ntdom/1999-August/005965.html Couldn't you just make the filesystem available _both_ via NFS and Samba? So, if you're a UNIX client you'd go through NFS and authenticate via NIS, ignoring SMB. If you're a Windows client, you'd go through Samba, which would in turn authenticate against your PDC.
