Will Windbind Allow me to log in with windows network accounts to my linux server?
Will it allow Authenticated users of the
Windows Active directory network access to the servers shares, without creating them on the linux box?
Shoud I install the samba client on my server?
Will it allow me to officially join the AD Domain
as Member server or DC?

Yes.

Yes (it creates the ids behind your back). And no, they
won’t be login ids by default (that is, they can’t do a normal
shell login by default… but that can be done as well).

As a domain member server, yes… but not as
a domain controller (not until v4).
