Is your smb.conf set up to match?  I'm not sure if mounting via cifs reads it, 
but for smbclient you need to have at least the domain and password server set 
in there, and maybe security=server.  If this is really Active Directory, it 
needs to have the domain compatibility mode set or you may need some other 
settings - and to join the domain.

I'm not sure plain text is ever used.  The choices would be NT LANMAN style 
hashes or whatever they changed to in win2k3.  A samba 3.x version should be 
able to do both. I don't think the kernel cifs module does kerberos or client 
signing, though.
