I am at the planning stage of an LDAP deployment, having user accounts, PAM, Courier 
IMAP, Postnuke and Postfix authentication via LDAP

I would be really keen to hear a basic overview of the issues involved in planning 
this, and where to go for further info.  For example where to go to find out about 
Schemas required, how to plan a domain layout (I have one machine supporting two mail 
domains...).  This is only going to support a few users, but might grow to multiple 
machines at some point

I have setup a global Win2K AD based domain, but I have to confess that I still don't 
really understand how one ought to setup LDAP... 

Thanks
