What is LDAP and is it useful on home network FC5?

I have an FC5 machine on cablemodem 24/7. The machine hosts 3 FQDNs, runs
an apache server and a vsftpd server. I have it setup with dovecot to be
able to grab my system mail with OE on the LAN. I also use samba with cifs
to share XP folders with Fedora and also setup shares from Fedora so that I
can drag and drop files for the FTP server, access my home directory and
public_html directory, and be able to directly edit my html files.

I would like to know what ldap is for and if it would be something useful
to me. Thanks.
