Well, ok, I got LDAP account authentication working (including making 
homedirs, proper login authentication, etc.).  Now, here's the big 
trick:
I'd love to get samba authentication to an eDirectory server.  Anyone 
have any thoughts on this?  This would let me replace any PDC with a 
linux box, and have only one password system - the Novell servers, 
which hopefully soon will be running Linux :)
Anyone have any thoughts?  Suggestions?  I'm figuring I'll contact the 
samba lists here later, but thought I'd ask locally first.
