It's pretty straightforward. You set up the linux box like it would
look at any RFC 2307 LDAP server, except you also edit (starting at
line 143) /etc/ldap.conf. This is where you can map schema to look
elsewhere. I edited nss_base_passwd to match the ou that Apple uses
for its password files. I also edited nss_base_group, and
nss_base_hosts.
