I think Samba can do that for you.
But that will only help you with
filesharing/printersharing/windowsnetworking I expect.

If you want a 'real' useraccount on a *nix machine for use with ssh and
such, I think you should really create these users on the machine.

But.... me no expert on this subject. :-)

You'll be better off doing it the other way around. Set up the
authentication server on Linux and get the Linux and Windows users to
authenticate against that.
