Has anyone any experience trying to make FreeBSD an Active Directory

At the minute I have samba and ldap setup, the active directory dns
entries in (_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.{domain}). I am getting an error message
when trying to join my XP client to the domain - I think it is to do with
the ldap server. Any clues or points in the right direction would be
helpful - I am getting the impression that this may be a big project, if
it is even achieveable.

Samba has experimental components which support ADS, but not fully. See
http://www.samba.org/ and the Official Samba Howto.
In my experience it isn't currently capable to have FreeBSD run as a fully
functioning ADS server.
If you absolutely need ADS you may simply need to have a Windows server.
If you need Windows Domain logons and ACLs etc... Samba+LDAP works
beautifully, I have this implemented at my work, the only reference I
needed was the Official Samba Howto. Using LDAP Account Manager also helps
:) There are no problems with machines connecting to the domains, or
domain logons, user profiles, or ACL's.
