First off start by reading Using Samba, Robert Eckstein, David Collier-Brown,
Peter Kelly, 1st Edition November 1999 which is INCLUDED as an html doc in the
Samba 2.07 distribution. It gives the background and you will become familiar
with what you are up against. Samba is awesome and will knock the socks off of
NT.

Your initial question is way way to broad to rationally answer on this list.
Come back with a few more specifics after reading the html doc
