[Samba] How to Join Samba Client to a Samba PDC Domain with ldap?

[Adam Williams]

/etc/ldap.conf will handle the linux shell accounts, use 
authconfig-tui.  for getting samba on your centos 5.2 server talking to 
your PDC, see chapter 7 of Samba 3 by example.pdf.  you won't need to 
run slapd on your centos 5.2 server unless you want to have it act as a 
slave/read only/replication LDAP server to your PDC server which isn't 
required.
