If you're running samba-2.2.x compiled with LDAP support, you probably
want to read this article:

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

The next article
(http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/samba-ldap-advanced.php) also has
some tricks to make life easier, so read it before you start ...
