One of LDAPs main problems for N00bs is to understand the setup 
procedures. Maybe You could break the first steps down to a level that 
even I could understand :).

I think everybody would like to have seperated the system users and the 
samba (domain) users with LDAP or MySQL as backend.

As John wrote, don't be disappointed. Your are doing great.
