There is information in the Server Guide for setting up Samba with OpenLDAP
for Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04. The instructions should mostly work for 8.04,
once you have LDAP setup. Also, the step of adding the Samba LDAP schema
will be different for 8.04.

So unless you need the 5 year support of an LTS release it may be easier to
run 9.04. From my expereince upgrading non-LTS releases has been painless,
but I usually do a lot of testing when upgrading production systems.

If you find any additional bugs, errors, unclear text, etc with the Samba
LDAP sections please file a new bug so it will be easier to track.
