Assuming your domain is ntdom, and the wins server is 192.168.1.1

in /etc/smb.conf
netbios name = SAMBA_SRV
workgroup = ntdom
security = domain
#
# use any Domain Controller on the 'ntdom' domain as the password server.
password server = *
#
encrypt passwords = yes
wins server = 192.168.1.1
wins support = no
wins proxy = no


After you have done this, you need to add the machine 'SAMBA_SRV' into the
domain, using server manager for domains, as an NT server (not a domain
controller), and then from the samba machine, enter

IIRC:
start the netbios daemon
$ nmbd -D

join the domain
$ smbpasswd -j ntdom -r nt_pdc
(where nt_pdc is the name of your NT pdc. )

now start samba
$ smbd -D

I beleive this should be it, but you need to make sure you finish
configuring the rest of the samba services....
