What is an AD domain?  And when did it become a requirement for smb
connections?

Do you know how to the mapping you mention is done?

Isn't cifs supposed to work without much in the way of  special

I seem to recall having had smb shares working a good while back... I
do remember joining a workgroup and I have done that...

setup the idmapping.
