Samba's LDAP support is unstable (broken). We're going to
work on that soon. For sshd and ftp, use PAM enabled services
(OpenSSH and proFTPD compiled with PAM enabled) and use the
pam_ldap and nss_ldap modules from padl.com.
Don't deal with MACs that much. No idea about netatalk.

Here's a log entry from a Outlook client search
through the directory. This should help. The bind was
an anonymous bind here.
SRCH base="ou=people,dc=plainjoe,dc=org"
scope=2
filter="(|(mail=carter*)(|(cn=carter*)
(|(sn=carter*)(givenName=carter*))))

OpenLDAP returns the server's naming contexts as part
of a query to
$ ldapsearch -b "" -D "" -w "" -x -s base \
"(objectclass=OpenLDAProotDSE)" namingContexts
dn:
namingContexts: dc=plainjoe,dc=org
