/etc/pam.d/samba can be as simple as:
auth    required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok shadow
account required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

Which is the default of a old RH system. This basicaly tells pam that 
the samba connection needs authentisation and account from 
pam_pwdb.so. pam_pwdb.so then checks the locale passwd datebase 
(/etc/passwd), NIS or what ever is configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf. 
I just saw, there is a /etc/pwdb.conf invoced to.
