I believe the current version of Samba should also work if you add the
usernames and passwords to the smbpasswd file, even if they do not have a
shell account in the Linux box.  Of course, that would still be a pain to
maintain in the sense that changing the password in the PDC does *not*
change it in the smbpasswd file.   

Just an idea.  :-)
