Yes, Linux SAMBA PDC can be a server of MS Win, Mac, Other Linux, and Unix.
With MS Win, client software comes native. With Linux and Unix, client software comes with SAMBA. With Mac you need client software called 'DAVE' from http://www.thursby.com.
If you are constructing SMB networks with more that one subnets, your Linux SAMBA PDC must support backend DB such as LDAP (or MySQL recently) as there are requirements to replicate authentication DBs across subnets.
You have to also integrate encryption softwares like openssl, cyrus-sasl, and kerberos as
SMB networks do not have stringent indigenous security tools.
