The password comes from the local PC or from the domain, depending if the user in passwd is a domain-user or not. But I ran several times into a problem if I didn't run mkgroup and some group the user belonged to wasn't in the group file. I'm not really sure about the error message, but I remember it was misleading. The indicator for this kind of problem was "setgid invalid argument" flashing up on the login window.
