If you are using encrypted passwords, you do not have to worry about shadow passwords or not. Samba stores and maintains the encrypted passwords in a seperate file, compare the "smb passwd file" option in smb.conf.

This is probably old stuff: Run configure on your system before your compaile samba and shadow passwords should be fine. Or use the rpms tailored for your system.
