Look at this
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/samba-ldap-advanced.php
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/ldap-auth2.php
if you only want to sync users, and not any information regarding them.
If you would want more then:
You'll have to use the ODBC based sql backend for ldap (VERY SLOW ), and
connect using postgres, or whatever your database superuser is. You will
need to create some tables and views, tables containing ldap specific
things, see: http://www.samse.fr/GPL/ldap_pg/HOWTO/
and views which unify the former with pg_shadow information.
I wish you the best luck in succeeding this !
