If they are logged into a windows domain, they will send the domain
credentials, like it or not - and you really want the windows login to
match the linux name for home directories to work. If you set
security = server
and
password server = your_domain_controller
(which I think needs to be resolvable in dns after adding your search
domains)
everything should just be transparent.
This doesn't really come into it. 99% of the time there are only linux boxes
on the LAN. Samba is necessary for the odd times when a family windows
laptop makes a temporary connection. There's certainly nothing like a
windows domain to consider.
Samba could emulate one, but shouldn't have to. Do all of the windows
login names match (case included) the linux names, and did you use
smbpasswd -a to add all users on the samba side after creating their
linux logins on the current server. I think the password storage format
changed some time back so if you upgraded or copied the setup from an
earlier Centos version the old copy might not work with the new configs.
