Smartcard authentication is only really possible with Kerberos. Samba
should not be able to tell the difference between a smart-card and a
'passworded' login in this situation.
The bad news is that you will need to use a Win2k DC, as Samba does not
yet support being an AD Domain Controller. Also, you will need to use
Samba 3.0.
