Joining a Samba server to an AD domain does require a few more pieces of software; specifically a Kerberos distribution (MIT is the most common and best-documented for Samba-AD purposes; Hiemdal is a popular alternative) and OpenLDAP. On some platforms, other dependencies, like libiconv and SASL, are called for. If you're installing from source, and enable ADS mode, be aware that the devel versions of many of these pieces of software are required for linking.
Also, it's important to note that connecting to a Windows 2008 domain requires different smb.conf parameters than when connecting to earlier versions of AD. Lurk the samba-users list, and read through the archives of said list, for more info.

Share level can be configured without passwords or even user names. In fact most often this is the case. (allow null passwords, or allow guest access options)
It is true the user is limited to the share this way, but that's good. A user level client would similarly be limited to whatever access that user has on it's server account. Usually that would be the entire /home directory.
