All of the Samba configuration files are in the /etc/samba folder. I recommend reading them as a learning experience, but to create your own files from scratch.
move the original files somewhere:
mkdir /etc/samba/vanillaconf mv /etc/samba/* /etc/samba/vanillaconf/
create your own /etc/samba/smb.conf: Make sure that the domain and realm fields are all caps.
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
#/etc/samba/smb.cnf [global] workgroup = ((DOMAIN)) server string = %h server wins support = no socket options = TCP_NODELAY large readwrite = no log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/samba.%m.log security = ads realm = ((DOMAIN)).COM encrypt passwords = yes obey pam restrictions = yes winbind use default domain = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template shell = /bin/bash idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000
