How do I authenticate the users at linux client with the linux server with samba NOT with NIS.

Exactly the same way as with a Windows share:
- add the user on the server with smbpasswd
- mount something on the client with either smbmount or an fstab entry

Set up samba as a domain controller on the server, set up winbind on the client.

I have been looking a bit at Samba recently since it will allow my M$-dependent friends to plug-and-play into my network. Is there a good, comprehensive guide to samba on linux/BSD somewhere on the net. One that goes throught he basics as well. Windows shields its users farily well from that.
