I'm curious about moving to LDAP server (currently using rdist to sync 
passwords and groups), but I still haven't found a simple step-by-step guide 
to setting up the LDAP server and  copying password and group data to it.  
AFAICT, the only existing howtos are so general that I can't tell what to do.
