I am using security = ADS, actually.

Here's a copy of my smb.conf:

[global]
        server string = Brian Spiegel [Samba 3.0.0]
        workgroup = GROUP
        security = ADS
        encrypt passwords = yes
        realm = DOMAIN.COM
        password server = ads.domain.com
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        local master = no
        domain master = no
        preferred master = no
        os level = 0
        winbind uid = 10000-20000
        winbind gid = 10000-20000

[Samba]
        comment = Samba Configuration and Setup Docs
        path = /home/username/samba_setup
        read only = no
        browsable = yes
        writable = yes
        guest ok = yes

Just as a quick check - you're not using "security=share" or
"security=server" in your smb.conf file are you?
