I have started with SME:  http://wiki.contribs.org/Main_Page

This is a good NT Domain + equiv on Centos 4.7 and they have Centos 5.2 
(I hope now 5.3) in beta.

I have not looked enough into their roadmap to see what is being done 
with LDAP...

Another effort on Fedora is Amahi.org.  This is more a home product with 
a WorkGroup orientation.  The inclusion of home apps like streaming 
music makes it very attractive.

SME is a well organized effort, originally back? by Mitel.  Amahi 
started as a one-man effort (though the one man behind it has impressive 
credentials) and has developed a 'plugin' community.

Craig well knows the efforts of a couple of k12 guys to get some SAMBA 
integration together (http://majen.net/smbldap/).  This seems to have 
stagnated.

I am hoping that SME continues to evolve.  Their VoIP version is the 
perfect place to get serious with LDAP.
