man smb.conf

SECURITY = DOMAIN .PP

This  mode will only work correctly if smbpasswd(8)has been used to add
this machine into a Windows NT Domain. It expects the  encrypted  pass-
words parameter to be set to true. In this mode Samba will try to vali-
date the username/password by passing it to a  Windows  NT  Primary  or
Backup  Domain  Controller,  in  exactly the same way that a Windows NT
Server would do.

password on linux when security = domain is ignored if linux is not PDC.
