However my Windoze client are prompting for username/password and

I don't think this is a PAM problem.  'getent' relies on the nsswitch
mechanism but I don't think it relies on PAM.

That is most likely a PAM problem, you need to create/modify a file at:
/etc/pam.d/samba

so that authentication will work against your domain (only for the
samba service, logging into your linux computer is a different
service).  Be very careful with PAM, you can lock yourself out of your
machine if it is misconfigured.  For example, my /etc/pam.d/samba file
looks like this:

auth            required        /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth            required        /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth            sufficient      /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
auth            required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_first_pass
shadow nullok
account         required        /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
session         required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password        required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

Check to make sure that PAM is configured correctly for samba here,
and then you can check the error log at /var/log/messages for any
errors relating to PAM if it still won't work.  Also make sure
that the pam module pam_winbind.so is in place in /lib/security.

Login is a separate module (not samba), you would need to modify
another module config to do that.
