Hello,
It would be possible to write a wrapper application with the samba libraries
that authenticated users against a domain controller or a local list of
users, and then dynamically added rules into iptables to allow traffic from
that computer. However I don't believe that there is anyone working on this
currently.
It would be a very interesting project, and if you are really interested in
such a thing, I would talk with the samba developers at www.samba.org.
