Of all howtos etc. I made through, I was only able to setup Samba + LDAP
using Samba Guide (chapter 6, Making users happy) - it has the smallest
number of bugs - without correcting them (like %m needed instead of %u),
running Samba + LDAP would be impossible.
There is explained how to check which ldap.conf your system uses (for
authentication).
The rest you could get from openldap.org, I guess.
