Rich, If you aren't using PDC/BDC, then Security = domain is wrong. It could be: security = share, username map = /etc/dbusers.map, and your app unix account mapped to everybody in that file (e.g. sambashare = *).
This is all (mostly ;-) ) guesswork. Take a look at the docs - smb.conf(5) has what you're looking for, I think. Look at the "security" and "username map" sections-I just noticed that "domain user map" (smbusers) and "username map" (dbusers.map, or whatever you choose) are used quite differently.
