Looks like it was a Mandrake 9.0 default config file until you crucified
it with SWAT ;-).

The best option for you may be winbind. If you have not got too much
time invested in this machine, you may consider doing an installation in
expert mode, where you can choose to have authentication via a Windows
Domain (which sets up winbind).

If not, you need to do this manually.

1)Install samba-winbind, either with software manager, or:

# urpmi samba-winbind

2)Get a decent config file (backing up your current one)

# cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.backup
# cp /etc/samba/smb-winbind.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf

3)Edit the file with the text editor of your choice, spend 5 minutes
reading it first, then change your workgroup name back as it was.

4)Join the domain
# smbpasswd -j <DOMAIN> -U <user with rights to join the machine to the
domain>

5)Start winbind
# service winbind start

6)Test

# wbinfo -u
should list users
# getent passwd
should list users in the same format as the passwd file

7)Setup authentication via winbind (making a backup):
# cp /etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/pam.d/system-auth.backup
# cp /etc/pam.d/system-auth-winbind /etc/pam.d/system-auth

(everything up to here gets done for you if you choose Windows Domain
for authentication during installation)

8)Login to X/KDE/GNOME/Mail server/console with your domain account

There are some caveats, see

for more details in winbind setup in Mandrake.
