Hi,

goto www.samba-tng.org/docs.html and read the samba with ldap howto there. I
think most of it will work with 2.2.2 as well (does anyone know of a howto for
2.2.2-ldap? also does anyone know the differences between tng-ldap and
samba-ldap?)

that'll get you started. Install cyrus as well, and you'll need pam-ldap. Note
however that you'll need the ldap-sasl patch becaus cyrus-sasl + cyrus-imapd +
ldap creates a problem. Have a look here for more info on that:
cyrus-utils.sf.net

I've been running this setup for some time now, it works realy nice!
