Why is the smb.conf file in /home/hywu instead of somewhere like
/etc/samba ?

You shouldn't have local and domain users with the same name.

Go on, I give in, how did you get a domain user into /etc/passwd (where
it doesn't belong).

What OS ?
What version of Samba ?
Is there another smb.conf file somewhere ?
If there is, what is in it ?
How did you provision the domain, what was the actual command ?
