I was using a similar HOWTO, located at http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb-howto.html, but because I am completely new to LDAP some of it was Double Dutch. How are you going to go about authoring your HOWTO, and what kind of pre-requisits will it require in relation to LDAP? At the moment I'm considering using straight SMB authentication because I don't think I have the time to learn LDAP before I get a test environment running, and due to the lack of skill with LDAP that I have, I needed to rely heavily on a LDAP/SAMBA-PDC HOWTO. OpenLDAP is installed on this test environment, but not running. How difficult will it be migrating from SMB Authentication to LDAP Authentication down the track?
