You need to read up the new samba book. It really is amazing.
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf

as well you must read the latest cvs copy of the smbldap-tools from
ideals.

http://www.idealx.org/prj/samba/index.en.html

Both of these documents explain using ldap with samba on almost every
level.

Also Lauzly Price has started an integration of samba-domain controlled
into ispman(www.ispman.org), which is a cpanel type of admin tool that
configures ldap,cyrus,postfix,pure-ftpd,apache,bind .

The cyrus list may not provide the information you need, but the previous
links will get you going.
