A friend of mine recently setup his RedHat Linux 4.2 boxes with Kerberos
authentication and he uses the Kerberos PAM modules to handle all his
authentication (including Samba).  I am not familiar with Debian Linux so
I do not know if it supports PAM out of the box, but if so you may want to
look into that approach.  If not you may want to look at using a
distribution with PAM support, it's real slick =).  I don't have any URLs
for PAM/Kerberos info handy, but if you have trouble finding it let me
know and I will get it from my friend. 

Good luck,
Sean
