In the first edition of "Samba-3 by Example" chapters 6 and 7 dealt with 
Samba-3 plus LDAP.  In the second editiona this is in chapters 5 and 6.

The second edition also added section 5.1.3.7 which adds diagnostic guidance.

The second edition is available from Amazon.Com - check ISBN: 013188221X, or 
it can be downloaded from:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf

The on-line version on Samba.Org is updated within 24 hours of any change or 
update.
