Main problem was that, despite having succesfully joined the domain, both 
'wbinfo' and 'getent' showed me local UNIX users and groups, but only domain 
groups; couldn't list domain users with either.

Turns out I missed one step, and it's right there in the HOWTO quick start 
guide:

# wbinfo --set-auth-user=root%'mypassword'

Once this was done, I was able to list users and groups from both the local UNIX 
machine and the domain.
