I've such a setup running here and I'm quite satisfied. We once migrated from NIS to LDAP and later added the Samba scheme to our LDAP server. We are just using simple file- and print services with Samba. We don't use the PDC functionality as, up to now, I don't see an advantage for us - just more administration effort. Roughly said, the LDAP is just used for user accounts and groups, i.e. passwords and userid/group matching. There are enough websites that describe such a setup, by the way.
