Setting up the clients is pretty easy, see chapter 23 of this guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/en-US/System_Administration_Guide/

Setting up the server, well, the last time I did it was in 2000, and it was a
royal pain.  I think it's easier now though, at least if you believe the
Reference guide:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/en-US/Reference_Guide/ch-ldap.html

As far as managing the users after the servers and clients are set up, I used
to use DirectoryAdministrator:
http://diradmin.open-it.org/

But there's a GUI ldap tool that comes with fedora (so would presumably be
available for RHEL) called Lat that you might check out too
http://dev.mmgsecurity.com/projects/lat/

Good luck,
Matt
