That depends on which means to log on to the machine you want to use. You could use:
rexec/rcmd
rlogin
telnet
ssh
and perhaps some more. IMHO you should opt for some securized form of logging on (which leaves only ssh), but, depending on your environment, any other tools might equally suffice. Some of these tools have kerberized (Kerberos-aware) variants which might or might not be necessary for you (in the nowadays unlikely case you have a Kerberos domain set up).
If you could elaborate on what your requirements are we might be better able to help you. As you have asked a very general question the answer is also quite general in nature.
I hope this helps.

pam_winbind
PAM_WINBIND(7) PAM_WINBIND(7)
NAME
pam_winbind - PAM module for Winbind
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
pam_winbind is a PAM module that can authenticate users against the local domain by talking to the Winbind daemon.
OPTIONS
pam_winbind supports several options which can either be set in the PAM configuration files or in the pam_winbind configuration file situ-
ated at /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf. Options from the PAM configuration file take precedence to those from the configuration file.
debug
Gives debugging output to syslog.
debug_state
Gives detailed PAM state debugging output to syslog.
require_membership_of=[SID or NAME]
If this option is set, pam_winbind will only succeed if the user is a member of the given SID or NAME. A SID can be either a group-SID,
a alias-SID or even a user-SID. It is also possible to give a NAME instead of the SID. That name must have the form: MYDOMAINmygroup or
MYDOMAINmyuser. pam_winbind will, in that case, lookup the SID internally. Note that NAME may not contain any spaces. It is thus recom-
mended to only use SIDs. You can verify the list of SIDs a user is a member of with wbinfo --user-sids=SID.
try_first_pass
use_first_pass
By default, pam_winbind tries to get the authentication token from a previous module. If no token is available it asks the user for the
old password. With this option, pam_winbind aborts with an error if no authentication token from a previous module is available.
use_authtok
Set the new password to the one provided by the previously stacked password module. If this option is not set pam_winbind will ask the
user for the new password.
krb5_auth
pam_winbind can authenticate using Kerberos when winbindd is talking to an Active Directory domain controller. Kerberos authentication
must be enabled with this parameter. When Kerberos authentication can not succeed (e.g. due to clock skew), winbindd will fallback to
samlogon authentication over MSRPC. When this parameter is used in conjunction with winbind refresh tickets, winbind will keep your
Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) uptodate by refreshing it whenever necessary.
krb5_ccache_type=[type]
When pam_winbind is configured to try kerberos authentication by enabling the krb5_auth option, it can store the retrieved Ticket Grant-
ing Ticket (TGT) in a credential cache. The type of credential cache can be set with this option. Currently the only supported value is:
FILE. In that case a credential cache in the form of /tmp/krb5cc_UID will be created, where UID is replaced with the numeric user id.
Leave empty to just do kerberos authentication without having a ticket cache after the logon has succeeded.
cached_login
Winbind allows to logon using cached credentials when winbind offline logon is enabled. To use this feature from the PAM module this
option must be set.
silent
Do not emit any messages.
