My preference for using Samba in a mixed windows/unix environment is to not bind the linux computer to the AD with winbind. This might not always be the best option, but it's generally my preference, as there is one less computer joined to the domain (most of my networks are Small Business Server, and a non-windows computer joined to the domain just makes the built in SBS auditing tools show unncessary member-failures).

Here is my typical smb.conf file:

<nowiki>
[global]
workgroup = DFWLP
server string = dlp-centos64
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = no
log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.log
max log size = 50
security = server
password server = 192.168.125.130
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
wins server = 192.168.125.130
dns proxy = no

#[homes]
# comment = Home Directories
# browseable = no
# writeable = yes

[is-spam]
comment Is Spam
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
public = yes
path = /opt/spam

[isnt-spam]
comment Is Not Spam
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
public = yes
path = /opt/ham
</nowiki>

It is generally necessary to also edit the security policy of a windows 7 comptuer (probably windows vista too) to allow it to connect to the Samba share.
