Mark,

The answer to all your problems lies here 
http://web.vcs.u52.k12.me.us/linux/smbldap    We'll also be doing this as
a session and discussing the stuff that goes along with migration etc. at
the Gould Linux conference   more info at  http://www.trasksinc.com/NELS  
 Hope you can come.  Let me know if I can give you any pointers on
Samba/LDAP....it's what I use....central authentication and home dirs
regardless of platform.  Very cool!  And the new smbldap-installer script
makes it a snap to set up.  Whatever you do...get off the AD hamster
wheel...you'll go nuts if you don't.
