SSPI on Linux is client only - there isn't the framework to handle the 
server side (it would require hooking into samba I think).  It also 
doesn't support encryption... rather crippled but enough for Linux to 
talk SSPI to a Windows server.

sserver and gserver are possibilities though, and of course you have the 
option of an ssh server.
