That's the way mine works.  If the local password matches it should work and
if not it will check against the domain controller.  Some of my accounts
have working local passwords, some don't.  I've never been able to make
cvs' pserver mode work with pam, so the people who use cvs keep their Linux
password up to date.  Most others just use their Windows domain password.

You should add the machine to the domain, but this shouldn't affect a root
login or anyone else with a working local password.  Note that authconfig
just builds the pam config files for you.  If you want to customize them
even more you still can.
