You may want to take a look at this paper I presented a while ago, on
integrating Mandrake 9.0 into a Windows domain (only the basics of
winbind setup).

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba/Integrating%20Linux%20into%20Windows%20Networks.pdf

Mandrake supports winbind authentication during installation since 9.0,
and since 9.2 you can configure it after installation using 'drakauth'.
This doesn't currently support AD, however it should in the next release
when we have samba3 in main (in contrib for 9.2).
