That's what we have too.

But you wouldn't need local accounts for network users would you? Or at 
least we don't. They can use either a windows client or a Linux client. 
None of them are attached to any box locally.  All the windows and linux 
data is stored centrally in LDAP. The windows clients pull the sid and 
whatever else they need and the Linux clients use nss-ldapd to 
automagically pull the 2307 stuff that they need. Having said that, this 
is quite a simple setup of a heterogeneous lan under 3.6. If the post is 
about 2 or more linux machines then that ought to do it I think.
