Going in I thought it was going to be a pretty time consuming task 
too.  In my case, though, it was pretty much a slam dunk.  I already 
had a NT4 domain PDC/BDC and the samba documentation was easy and 
straight forward for setting up a RH box sharing drive space for the 
domain users authenticated against the PDC.

Reading /usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.2/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf was 
key for me. I spent 1/2 hour or so discovering that I had typed 
"windbind" where I should have typed "winbind" <hint><hint>
