Jim, You didn't mention if the Windows systems are WinXP Pro, but if they are, you should be able to make the one server a Samba PDC and join the machines to the PDC's domain. I use an LDAP backend but Samba will also work with just the /etc/passwd for authentication as well. As for a text, I have The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide by John H Terpstra and Jelmer R Vernooij. It is also available online at http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ (see chapter 4)
