Works for us and our customers. We do see lots of postings about
problems joining the domain. If you follow the
Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and the DHCP-Server-Configuration.txt
it should work. Start with a minimal smb.conf configuration file and
build up to what you finally need is also a good plan. Here for example
is one of our smb.conf files:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from spruce.highley-recommended.com (10.2.2.2)
# Date: 2001/10/20 10:59:39

# Global parameters
