You may additionally have a look at smbldap-tools (available in the
EPEL repository).
I had good experience with OS users authenticated by OpenLDAP on a
Linux only network.
It is not so hard to configure with authconfig.
At the time I had a quick look at Samba integration and smbldap-tools
seemed the way to go.
By the way, authconfig seems to also have options for smb / winbind:

I never tried those though.
