samba - Aug 2009 - moving from nt4 to active directory

I have 2 AIX systems that run Samba. We are currently on an NT4 domain and
moving to Active directory. I am trying to find out what all would be needed
to make that transition. 
The only authenification is for users connecting to their shares. 
I read one site via Google that states I need to create a user (Rocky) on
both Samba and the AD server with different passwords but this does not seem
right.
My AIX servers are version 5.3 
I am running an older version of Samba 2.2.7-4 but could upgrade if needed.
The AD servers are Win2K3.

I was just wondering if anyone else has done this and if maybe someone could
shed some light on the procedure to do this. I am not well versed in Samba
(I can bang around but don't know all the ins and outs)

Thanks

Dear
 Try to use winbind, that will map your Windows Ad users to linux, no need
to maintain separate password.

thanks
