Hi
I have setup more samba ldap dc's then I dare to think of and it's
pretty easy, I used to script the whole thing and I had it online for
others to download but I have not maintained it for a long while so it's
way to old to be used today.
If you are looking at the nt4 style then there is a great howto here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/centos-5.x-samba-domain-controller-with-ldap-ba...
But mind you it could be a good idea to actually look at the samba4,
it's getting pretty stable, I have installed it on a dev environment
where is serves authentication to the dev servers and dev clients and
has not given a day of shit really smooth installation also:

I'm not sure but I have a small idea of it : if you don't have an
Active Directory server, a way is to setup a domain controler NT4 like
Samba (free software), It seems little bit complexe as you need to
setup a backend ldap server with a particular schema to store the
information of workstations, then setup the samba server, then join each
XP workstation to the domain of the Samba Server (exactly like AD) .
An another way is to replace the Gina.dll in windows XP by a new Gina to
auth from various source as ldap (there are some free project like
pGina.org that is hosted on sourceforge). In google look after "Gina" or
"pGina.org". I suppose you will need to replace the DLL and configure
each workstation that is waste time on a big park of stations.
