I am looking to tighten down my home lan over the
Christmas break. Here is the question... How do I make
the windows clients on my network goto my linux server
to check the usernames and password?? Thus giving
access to the logins on my linux box to all my windows
clients. All i know is that SAMBA should help in a
way...

I have done this recently. You need samba to be a PDC. Joey has the manual
online. It and the config file have all the info necessary.

Better get the latest version of Samba: 2.2.2. It will become
a Primary Domain Controller.
