I've been trying to set up LDAP in my lab and it's a huge mess. There are several currently open LDAP bugs on Ubuntu and the fact that the default install doesn't include a way to create a database except completely manually is a huge pain.
If I get everything up and working and reasonably well scripted, I'll post a link. (A former student who worked as a sysadmin at her college has been a huge amount of help as I've worked through this, but I think this is completely beyond the capabilities of most teachers without a great deal of technical training. I teach computer science and consider myself a competent programmer and I've almost given up in frustration more than once.)
