Hi Peter I've done a bit of work with SLES 9 & 10 w.r.t. LDAP, and the configuration of the server was probably one of the easier parts. If you install and configure the LDAP server and associated packages, you should be able to use the standard Yast2->Security and Users->User management to populate the LDAP directory with user accounts. Make sure you check the 'Authentication and User sources' under the 'Advanced Configuration' button which will allow you to toggle the 'Client Enabled' setting. The configuration of the server is pretty straightforward, but the integration with the Macs and Windows machines isn't something I've had to contend with, sorry.
