The concept of workgroups on SAMBA determines how authentication is handled.  
By giving the configuration a workgroup name (and it can be any random name - 
the  default being WORKGROUP) you are telling SAMBA that user authentication 
will be done on that server.  I have a client with several SAMBA Linux servers 
running all using the same workgroup name attached to by workstations without 
workgroups designated (because they use Active Directory and domain names).
