AAMOF(as a matter of fact) you can login to Windos as any valid user on
Linux host, to be able to see certain share that are acceccable to user
like /home/$USER. And there is no need to have same passwd as that on the
linux host, and it can be dangerous, especially with the root account.
(Remember Windows store passwd with simple hashing, which is very easy to
decript). When you access any share, the a passwd is asked that you have
to give ur passwd, again do not store this on windows for root account.

It depends what type of access you want have. Linux can act as PDC for NT
domain, so you an NT client can log on to Linux. From linux you can use
smbclient.
