A good place to start is the Samba-PDC LDAP howto made by Ignacio
Coupeau:
http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb-howto.html

I would also recomend this LDAP faq for general LDAP info:
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1.html


I have a question for you: How does your mail users relate to samba? As
I understood it the ldap server answers on a specific port. As long as
your machine are allowed to speak to the machine, where the LDAP server
is located, on this specific port you shouldn't need to worry about the
operating system the the server is running under. Please correct me
someone if I'm wrong.
