You need to run winbind.

The easiest way is to install Mandrake 8.2, which has it mostly working 
out the box.

For the configuration you need to do, see 
http://ranger.dnslias.com/mandrake/muo/connect/csamba5.html#winbind

(basically, do the following as root:

1. # urpmi samba-winbind samba
2. edit your /etc/smb.conf and uncomment the winbind-related stuff
3. # smbpasswd -j <domain> -U <domain admin user>
4. # service winbind start
5. # serivce smb start

if you want to authenticate all services by winbind, do this also:

6. # cp /etc/pam.d/system-auth-winbind /etc/pam.d/system-auth
)

(There is also one at 
http://mandrakeuser.org/connect/csamba5.html#winbind, but it may be a 
bit out-of-date).

FYI, Mandrake 9.0 will support setting this up during installation (only 
with network installs AFAIK).
