Please does some one have any "documentation", "tutorial", "how to" about setting up a PDC basing on Samba with a LDAP (OpenLDAP) backend ?

the smb.conf file from samba on CentOS 5 is well documented .. and also the samba.org website

Basically you need to setup your ldap correctly, import the samba schema, initialize the domain (you can use smbldap-tools for that, very easy), configure samba to use the ldap backend and 'voilà' ..

I'll second the smbldap-tools suggestion. Docs are online:

You can get smbldap-tools and the dozen or so non-standard perl-*.rpm dependencies from rpmforge.
