Yes, this should be possible with Samba3 or Samba4 (though 4 is still not recommended for production environments). Set up your normal Domain, and then add your Linux boxes using Winbind should work since it will just look like an NT Domain. There are other approaches too like using LDAP+Krb5+Samba which would grant you greater flexibility in an all Linux environment however since version 4 isn't ready for daily use yet. -- Gary L.
