Pam does support auth via samba.  I have a couple of thousand users 
using email on linux with passwords sitting on an NT box.

I have also used Linux within a complete w2k environment to browse 
shares etc.and login to the network.  Programs like konqueror I believe 
have a setting for default username and password; hence you should be 
able to have one login thoughout.

Kind regards
Xander
