Reinhard-

There are two good LDAP tutorials at LinuxWorld.  The first article 
listed below has a brief explanation of how (using OpenLDAP) to get a 
basic LDAP directory set up -- it sounds like what you need.  The 
second article listed below is the first of a three part series. 
This series gives a broad overview of what a directory service can 
do, and how you go about designing one.

With these articles, and the Admin Guide as reference, you should be 
in good shape.
