You should only need to have all users have x permission on /home/DOMAIN
(ie chmod a+x /home/DOMAIN should do it).

As Andrew answered, use "obey restrictions = yes". BTW, you should not
need to modify your /etc/pam.d/samba at all if you use the method below:

Replace your /etc/pam.d/system-auth with the
/etc/pam.d/system-auth-winbind that ships with Mandrake.

BTW, you can have Mandrake 9.0 setup winbind for you (only available in
installation) by doing an expert install, and choosing "Windows Domain"
as authentication method in the dialog where you enter the root
password. In the dialog where you are propmted for the domain
name/username/password to use to join the domain, just enter your domain
in capitals (small buglet, should be fixed for 9.1). In this case, you
do not need to worry about the /etc/pam.d/system-auth, it is done for you.

For more info on winbind setup in Mandrake (with some examples and some
configs that you may need to change) see:
