Networking Unix and WInNT

Is there any way for a Unix server to control a system running on Win NT?I mean,can a network have a Unix server and Win NT client?

Setting up Samba on your Linux server, you can make the Linux box look like an NT server to Win95/98 and NT workstations. Or, if you already have NT servers, you can have it become part of the Primary/Secondary election process. -mk

Thanks a lot!!
