It shouldn't accept -D at all probably... it does it so that the Linux 
client can use the Windows server, but there's probably a way of failing 
it if you try it on a Linux server.

You'll get PAM authentication if it's enabled (check the output from 
configure) and SystemAuth=Yes.  PAM is pretty much mandatory if you're 
using things like shadow passwords.
