Any pointers as to where one can learn how to use LDAP as an NIS replacement?

I've tried looking into it before, but haven't ever come across a description that didn't try to also explain how you could simultaneously use LDAP to do all sorts of other things. All I want is something that can synchronize UIDs and passwords on a homogeneous network of a few linux machines on which I have root (and noone else does).
