Linux as a workstation client

I'm exploring the idea of using Linux as a workstation OS for some of the
users where I work. Most of the issues I've looked at seem resolvable, but
I keep running into one sticking point. We rely heavily on shared folders
on our Samba server, using ACLs to restrict things on a departmental basis.
What I'd need is a way to mount these folders with the permissions of the
current logged-in user and honoring all the ACLs on the server. Basically I
need it to act just like an NT workstation, client-wise. Winbind can do the
authentication, but I've tried smbfs, and it looks like it doesn't enforce
the ACLs. Is there something I'm overlooking, or is this something you just
can't do with Linux?
