I think you are looking at this the wrong way.
Active directory is how MS authenticates & shares it's stuff with other
systems.
So if you are on a linux system and want to access the AD stuff, you would
use something like likewise or samba.
Now if you have linux stuff and you want microsoft people to access your
stuff, you need something on their systems to access the linux stuff.
Something like ssh or telnet to login, or maybe an xwindow system.
They need to be authenticated into the linux system, so setting up samba
would seem appropriate, to allow the ms user to be validated.
The links being posted, all seem to be just allowing the linux users access
to MS AD.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
