Hi,

As a Mandrake-Linux sysadmin I did it following:

http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/ldap-auth2.php
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/samba-pdc.php
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/samba-ldap-advanced.php

without any problem. The documents however aren't extremly Mandrake
specific. With relatively small modifications they could be aplied to
samba3/other Unices.
For the diferences I would suggest to read the Samba HOWTO collection,
and your systems documentation about nss and pam.

Best Regards.
