[wellylug] LDAP info

[David Harrison]

By itself LDAP isn't that useful in a Windows world.

The best book I can think of which isn't specifically about LDAP but  
does have excellent examples of how to use LDAP in partnership with  
Samba to provide Windows centric authentication and file services is  
'Samba 3 by Example':

http://www.amazon.com/Samba-3-Example-Practical-Successful-Deployment/ 
dp/0131472216

It is really easy to read and starts off with a simple environment  
that gets progressively more complicated and distributed.
By the end of it you feel pretty comfortable combining LDAP  
(OpenLDAP) and Samba to provide unified authentication services to  
both Windows and Linux clients.
Not only does it cover LDAP but also other useful things like  
printers, home directories and the related user/system management tools.
