[Samba] 'security = ads' & 'valid users ='

I will be upgrading my Samba server from 2.2.8a to 3.0.10.  I currently
have security set to 'share' and plan on migrating to 'ads' for
improved
authentication.  I have one snag, though...

I have remote users who reside in and are managed by a Windows domain
that is not in my control.  There is no trust relationship at all.  If I
use 'ads' security, can I add a 'valid users' line for shares
they need
to access?  So that when they fail domain authentication, Samba would
check against UNIX accounts I set up specifically for those (2) users...

Example smb.conf:

[global]
  security = ads

[share1]
  comment = share for local users
  path = /some/path/share1
  ...

[share2]
  comment = share for remote users
  path = /some/path/share2
  valid users = fred,barney
  ...

I think as long as the passwords are the same, your approach of creating
the domain users you need as local users will work.

Would it be feasible to use the options 'guest account' and 'guest
ok'
for shares along with ADS security?

Or is additional configuration even necessary?  When domain
authentication fails, Samba will prompt the user for a username/password
combination
(http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#VALIDATIONSECT),
correct?  The user can then enter credentials I have given them that
will match UNIX accounts I will create for them.

If you're fine with users being prompted to enter their login
credentials, then yes the passwords can be different. If you want it to
be seamless, keep the passwords synced.

[Samba] 'security = ads' & 'valid users ='

I don't mind the users being prompted; there are only two of them.  This
is a real pain because they're accessing my site through a dedicated
line and they reside in their own domain...
