I've got CentOS5 running with Samba / OpenLDAP but not actually used Matt's script. I've included 
below my notes from our Wiki that might allow you to install all the necessary packages then you 
could run the script to do the configuring.

The line for the "Download the rpmforge-release package." will probably need altering as I'm running 
this on a Xeon machine using the 64bit kernel but it looks like I included a note where to get the 
other packages from, planning or what :-)

There might be some extra bits like apcupsd that you don't need in my notes but it might be a start.

If you like anymore info drop me a line

  ProtectBase

You should make sure that you have ProtectBase installed. yum-protectbase is available in the CentOS 
5 repositories:

    yum install yum-protectbase

Plugins are enabled in CentOS 5 by default.

Edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add the following line to the [base] and 
[update] and [centosplus] section:

     protect=1

Leave the [centosplus] section disabled:

     enabled=0

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add the following line to the other sections

     protect=0

Download the rpmforge-release package.

     wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

(You can find a complete list of rpmforge-release package packages at 
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/ but it is recommended that you use one of the two 
listed above).

Install DAG's GPG key

     rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Verify the package you have downloaded

     rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.*.rpm

Security warning: The rpmforge-release package imports GPG keys into your RPM database. As long as 
you have verified the package and trust Dag then it should be safe.

Install the package

    rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.*.rpm

This will add a yum repository config file and import the appropriate GPG keys.

Test with this command:

    yum check-update

It should output these two lines:

Loading "protectbase" plugin ... 76 packages excluded due to repository protections

The number above may differ, but there should be several packages shown as being excluded.


[edit]
Install Extra Packages

    yum install ntp
    yum install apcupsd

Install needed rpms for Samba3 / Openldap (found from Smbldap installer script)

    yum install perl-XML-SAX-Base perl-Unicode-String perl-IO-Socket-SSL perl-Crypt-SmbHash 
perl-Convert-BER

Install actual servers & dependants

   yum install perl-URI perl-Convert-ASN1 perl-libwww-perl
   yum install perl-XML-NamespaceSupport perl-URI perl-Crypt-SSLeay
   yum install perl-Digest-SHA1 perl-LDAP
   yum install gcc glibc-headers
   yum install openldap-servers openldap-clients
   yum install samba-common samba
   yum install apcupsd
   yum install net-snmp

latest version)

   wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.340-1.noarch.rpm
   rpm -U webmin-1.340-1.noarch.rpm
