I'm still going to stick to trying to get Samba3 and try and get openldap to work. I've got it going in my test environment with a clean install of samba and openldap. I'm currently making the modifications to a dev. version of the production ldap database to see if I can get it working with Samba3. I'm not worried about Active Directory, openldap works with our environment. Thanks for the suggestions!

Anyone have an update tutorial/howto for samba to authenticate to ldap?
This are lots of docs. But DO NOT DO T. A Samba 3.x DC is very very *obsolete*. The Windows world has moved on to Active Directory. If you want to do that you need Samba 4 - and no OpenLDAP. From the samba Wiki:
Samba 4 is currently not yet in a state where it can replace existing production deployments. [1] [1] http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4#Current_Status
That is the official story - but try it - it works *BETTER* than an NT4 Samba 3.x domain. Seriously, really. Recent Samba 4 builds *are* in production at several sites. It works.

Note that Samba 4 is best discussed on the technical list, not yet on the users list. https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba-technical
