For some reason, the CentOS authconfig-tui never works for me out of the box. And there doesn't appear to be correct error handling for it, such as "failed to join domain" -- it acts like everything is okay, and then it doesn't work.
I use the IDMAP_RID option to map user accounts within a single AD to unix user ID's.
Ensure that you have krb5-libs, samba-common, pam_krb5, krb5-workstation, samba-client, and krb5-auth-dialog installed.
Most of these are case-sensitive. The example NETBIOS domain name is "mydomain". Full DNS domain name is "mydomain.com". DC's/KDC's are dc1.mydomain.com, dc2.mydomain.com, etc.
/etc/pam_smb.conf
MYDOMAIN
dc1.mydomain.com
dc2.mydomain.com
Then run "ln -sf system-auth-ac /etc/pam.d/system-auth"
mkdir /var/cache/samba/smb_krb5
/etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac

Now, run "ntpdate dc1.mydomain.com", then configure and start ntpd (configure it to sync time from your DC's). Use ntpd -q and look for an asterisk to know when it has synchronized to the DC; it may take a few minutes. If your system clock gets more than 5 minutes out of sync with the DC's, then kerberos (and your authentication) will stop working.
TESTING
To test Kerberos functionality for authentication, run kinit " where is a user name on your AD domain.
To test ntpd functionality, run ntpd -q and look for an asterisk next to your DC.
To test that winbind is getting user and group info from AD, and that the system can use it, run "getent passwd" and "getent groups", and you should see your AD users and groups in there.
Note: for VMware server to work, you'll need a manual password entry for any user who will run vmware to be in /etc/passwd.
