I've set up LDAP services on CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu. There's a mini-howto for centos here: http://www.grennan.com/ldap-HOWTO.html and a more detailed one here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/ My advice would be that, unless you need directory features (e.g. distributed groups), try implementing Kerberos instead. It allows you to do single-sign-on (saves reentering password all the time) and it's easier to add LDAP on top of Kerberos than the other way around (users don't have to reset their passwords).
