Regular Samba has always been a problem for authentication because you needed to equate every Windows user to one on the Linux box. This solves that problem by taking a whole range of UIDs and GIDs and dynamically allocating them to Windows users and groups. I don't know if this is the solution you are looking for, since it doesn't actually create an LDAP schema, it just provides an authentication mechanism. It was developed under NT, so that should give you an idea... But what I can tell you is that any of the staff at the office can log into the Mandrake box on my desk at work. I believe all I had to do was install the RPM (wasn't included at that time) and modify my PAM configs to authenticate with that :-).
