security=domain means that PDC and not the smbpasswd file is the point of 
authentication.  The smbpasswd file is not referred to at all.  Of course, 
the underlying security method on UNIX/Linux is file ownerships and 
permissions and so the domain user account must map to a valid UNIX/Linux 
account on the SAMBA server or the user won't be able to access any files 
other than as a guest.
