Apply the registry hack for unencrypted passwords to all clients and 
reconfigure Samba to use unencrypted passwords. It will then use 
passwords from passwd/shadow.

Apparently this is not really what you will like to do ...

You can try this one:

  [global]
    workgroup = your_domain_name_goes_here
    security = server
    password server = *
    username map = /etc/smb.usermap

/etc/smb.usermap:
  dking = dwayne.king
  
Make sure you have read _and_ understood everthing 'man smb.conf' has 
to tell you about "security = server", "password server = *" and 
"username map".

Regards,
        Robert
