The tutorial is great. At least about a great topic. I am surprised there are no easy alternatives to W2003 server.

 Anyway I had problems at step 4. The mentioned file (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf) is not on my Ubuntu system. I need to say that I am using the desktop edition, not the server, and I am using 8.10 and not 7.10. I followed all the prerequisites and steps before, I believe.

Because the file is not there, I tried skipping the step (I know this is not good). If skipping step 4, I get serious errors at step 7, as follows:

entry dc=codina,dc=local already exist.
adding new entry: ou=Users,dc=codina,dc=local
adding new entry: ou=Groups,dc=codina,dc=local
adding new entry: ou=Computers,dc=codina,dc=local

 Anyone experienced this?
