Yes, Samba 2.2 is basically a NT-type client. If NT clients can
participate in the AD, so can Samba 2.2.

You should have a few things set
security = DOMAIN
workgroup = {whatever the name of your domain is}
winbind uid = 10000-20000 (or something appropriate for you)
winbind gid = 10000-20000 (or something appropriate for you)
Also, you can optionally fiddle with winbind enum users, winbind enum
groups, winbind use default domain, etc.
With winbind running, you'll want to make sure nscd isn't, and that
"winbind" is in the passwd and group lines of your nsswitch.conf. And
make sure the libnss_winbind.so -> libnss_winbind.so.2 symlink is there.
