1)Alternative of domain in linux:
You can use samba from www.samba.org . its an opensource alternative for windows 2000 file/print serving and centralized user authentication. recent benchmarks have proven samba3 to be a faster fileserver than windows2003. for authentication u can use samba that can authenticate both linux and windows users. for linux u can use nis+ and ldap though i dont recommend ldap as its pretty tough to use. kerberos is yet another option.
2)Policies
Inherently there are a few policies in linux implemented upon the user. u can better understand them by picking up a book and reading it. u can use setfacl,chmod to change permissions.
