Kevin,
You don't need LDAP - you can authenticate off of SAMBA. I've got
description of how we do it with Ubuntu (some dual boot with WinXP, some
just Linux) at http://tech.canterburyschool.org/tech/UbuntuWorkstations
. The one difference is that our PDC is actually a WinNT box, but it
should work on a SAMBA PDC.
Cheers,
Vern
