I'll take a quick peek at all the configuration files on my Gutsy Desktop tomorrow and
see if anything jumps out at me as way different.  I put my instructions together as a
combination of how to configure the server, a thin client system, fat clients with LDAP
auth, and configuration of Webmin for user management.  I tried to break down the
sections to explain what each is for, but I can see how they could get confused and used
together.  As awesome as the smbldap installer is, it configures things without one
knowing how or why.  If/when something breaks, you are much more in the dark as to why
or what to do to fix it.  This is why I wanted to put together as simple of a manual
howto as I could.  If you follow that you will know how every piece of your LDAP setup
works.

But I have not tried it at all on Gutsy yet.  I have a desktop that is not
authenticating to LDAP yet.  I need to set it up anyway, so I'll follow steps 8-12
tomorrow to be sure that the auth portion of a client to the server works in Gutsy.  If
all you need is user authentication with no NFS /home directories then those are the
only steps you should have to run through on a client.

I'll post back my results.  Cool yet not so cool thing about this Desktop is that my
Dual Head ATI card doesn't work for crap under Gutsy.  So this thing is a total sandbox
as it is almost unusable due to graphics problems.  So if the LDAP setup trashes the
box, I don't really care :-)
