Do you want support?  Red Hat DS
Do you want the stability of RH DS, but no support?  CentOS DS, it's  
built from the Red Hat sources like the distro.
Do you want no support, no cost, and the latest and greatest  
improvements? Fedora DS, it's the upstream for RH DS, and therefore  
also CentOS DS.

I know a guy on IRC (freenode #rhel) who is using samba + freeradius  
for a fairly sizable deployment.  If no one else gives you some  
pointers, you might ask him about it.  His nick is rigeld2.
