by user database, i assume you mean the /etc/passwd file. that is where linux stores all the account information. you can make OSX use the same file, and you could just copy the file over from the linux box. then you change lookupd to check for login information in /etc/passwd if it doesn t find it in NetInfo (which is where OSX stores its info by default)
man lookupd for details.
it might also be possible that your linux server stores its account info in NIS, which is convenient if there are lots of linux/UNIX machines and you want to have the same logins in every machine. in this case, you can also tell lookupd to check NIS for login account infos.
