Mac OS X itself provides its own propertietary directory service which I believe is based on OpenLDAP. For the purposes of this I'm going to assume you don't have access to this, so you're going to need your own server.

Luckily that isn't much of an issues. The Fink project provides a port of the OpenLDAP software which, through the FinkCommander application, is rather trivial to install. You will need to have Fink installed but this is not too hard.
