if you want your file server as an authenticating machine, then join your samba to a ADS or PDC, or you can make it as a PDC. it depends on how you setup your file server, if you want a single protocol then CIFS/Samba can do, you know MAC/Linux supports it. If you need a multi protocol then install each protocol for each specific system, that is samba,NFS,Appletalk or you can use also ftp, telnet,ssh... This is not really difficult, the interesting part is how you play with your ACL. something like, any users can write but cannot delete unless he is the owner..
