I think you need to do a little research into both AD and NDS and some Network Operating System concepts.... You are thinking server and machine centric not network centric... e.g. NT user accounts are frequently dynamically created on the local machine on login and the account removed on logout, accounts and their settings exist on the network NOT the machine (I am unaware of anything similar on *NIX). The approach has its problems but works well enough...
Come now, we were using automount on linux back at the university where I worked in 1995, with a central nis server where all accounts were managed, and all home directories on a central unix file server, exported via nfs and samba. No matter which unix machine I logged into (sun, sgi, linux) I got my same home directory, and it was all quite seamless. For those logging into pee cees, the samba home directories were accessible as network drives. This is old, old news in the unix world.
