You may want to check out the idealx site (idealx.org), they have an excellent
LDAP-Samba-PDC howto.
I've used it to do the same thing here. I have a linux box running samba and
openldap and I have a bunch of windows clients who authenticate on it. (linux
box is domain controller for the windows domain.) It does home directories,
shares, login script, you name it.
Furthermore, I've setup all our internal hosts in the ldap server (not the
domain members, but ALL machines, took me a while) and from that info, I
generate the zonefiles for Bind (I can even get you the script if you want),
so DNS is ok.
Lately, I even whipped up a script that generates a DOT file and when running
that through neato (http://www.graphviz.org/) it draws a complete map of our
network, all based on the LDAP contents.
LDAP rules baby :)
