Right .. it is not strictly a requirement to use LDAP ... however, using
ldap and smbldap-tools allows you to store more things in the directory
server (addresses, phone, e-mail, etc.) than just NT domains alone and
use that in an LDAP address book.  It makes the domain control a little
closer to AD.

When combined with a mail server solution like scalix or zimbra ... you
have something close to AD / Exchange.
