It's not that hard that you couldn't try for yourself. Get your hands on with these.

Start with these,
LDAP Howto, LDAP Implementation Howto

And remember always, there are lots of people who have done this. So look for them in Google Linux Search. Dont forget TLDP. You'll need these keywords usually LDAP, nsswitch, PAM, NSS

Check OpenLDAP.org also.

How about using LDAP on Linux client to use Network login on Active Directory??

Advice??

Can be done. For now check this out.

Unite your Linux and Active Directory authentication

Also use Google Linux Search.

(You would not get complete AD functionality. If you want a real cross platform directory service try Novell's eDirectory)
