Daniel,

For an LDAP server I would highly recommend SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The 
extra modules under Yast --> Network Services --> LDAP Server, and the 
connections within Yast to user/group and Samba modules can be very helpful 
to someone unfamiliar with all the interconnected settings that need to be in 
place. Having said that, one must still have an understanding of the various 
server functions in order to correctly configure the modules.
