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.
