If it is any consolation I read this as you disagreeing with Bob. ;)  He wants
part I, and you want part II.

Ah... so back to the 400 slide version. :)

How about - 
(a) Using LDAP for service authentication (SASL, Apache, PAM).
(b) Constructing a directory enabled mail service.
(c) The care and feeding of an OpenLDAP DSA.

That looks to be three seperate presentations, in order to do the topic any
justice.  Would you pick a subset of those three, all three, and in what order
of preference?

I've presented on Bind+SDB/LDAP which is storing DNS information in LDAP.

I think Samba\PDC has been presented;  using LDAP as the SAM was or has been
touched on a couple of times.
