Unfortunately, to connect Outlook to this server requires a  
proprietary plugin. :(


In addition to the above, I read some or all of the following:
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialLDAP.html
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ActiveDirectoryHowto
http://librenix.com/?inode=2288  (IBM id (free, but still) required  
to read this article)

This last one appears to be the best way for me to go, adopting the  
RedHat centric instructions to Ubuntu.

Hopefully I'll have a working LDAP server up this afternoon with  
minimal fuss.
