[Samba] AD LDAP for auth, NIS for uid?

I would like Samba to:
 - authenticate usernames against an Active Directory LDAP without
joining the domain, and
 - use NIS to translate usernames to userids.

Because of company politics, I can't join or modify the Active Directory
domain.  However, I can get a service account for querying AD LDAP.

Given the following info, what should my smb.conf look like?

AD domain: fake.domain.com
AD user container:
OU=Tarno,OU=Employees,OU=People,DC=fake,DC=domain,DC=com
AD server: dc1.fake.domain.com

Thanks.

Andrew
