I share out a couple directories from an AIX v5 machine, and it is not
a member of the domain. You can make it a regular workgroup (in my case,
named the same as the NetBIOS name of my domain), add a Samba user, set the
security to share, and a 

NET USE T: \\<samba-server>\<shared-dir> <samba-user>
/USER:<samba-server>\<samba-user> /PERSISTENT:NO >NUL

in your domain login script, and you should be set. That's what we do. Then again,
these directories are world R/W; your situation may be more complicated. We
just set the valid-users list in smb.conf to be the <samba-user> mentioned
above.
