Must be thousands of solutions to this, mine was to create a Samba share:

[myhome]
  comment = Personal home directory for %U
  path = %H
  public = no
  writable = yes
  create mask = 640
  directory mask = 750

Then I just set all the Windows boxes to mount \\server\myhome as drive L:
whenever somebody logs in. This is also good for configuring programs on
the windows boxes (e.g. Netscape looks for all its config files in
L:\Netscape_Profile, but stores its cache in C:\temp\cache, the default
documents folder is L:\Documents, etc.).
