Installing OpenLDAP ('slapd') is really easy.

Reconfiguring PAM to authenticate off LDAP is easy too (for a couple
pointers on it, see David Wright's comments to a post of mine a
few weeks back)

Now all apps that use PAM (the standard system) for authentication
will see all the LDAP-based users (eg the imap server).

A bit of tweaking in the exim.conf file allows you do to other routing
via LDAP as well.

Get the samba source (apt-get source) and add --enable-ldap-sam to the
invocation of configure in debian/rules.  Rebuild and install.  Then
add a couple lines to your smb.conf and it will authenticate against
LDAP.

I don't have a working samba PDC yet, that's part of the "todo" list.
