I had this issue and learned that it was a misunderstanding of mine that
once i added the samba server to the domain and enabled winbind that it
would authenticate all my ADS users without intervention.  However, upon
further investication I found that only users that had an account with the
same name on the samba server would be authenticated to the share.  To make
a long story short, you need to do so more configuration with winbind
allowing it to do the following, get domain user information, communicate
with PDC for authentication and use PAM for something or the other.

Just look up the winbind section in the samba reference guide and you will
see what I'm speaking of.

Good luck
