Domino has additions to use domino nab for UNIX authentication. You have 
to make sure your users have set their internet-password and being given a 
short name matching the one you wish to use to authenticate them from UNIX 
with.

For samba you've to edit your ldap-shema documents including the necessary 
fields for samba. But these are not filled in automatically creating a new 
entry in the nab. You are completely left alone here. Lots of additions 
have to be made to make it work with the standard nab. None of these are 
supported by Lotus/IBM. Making it difficult to move to a new version of 
domino/notes having made these changes.

If you only intend to use domino-ldap for authenticating users, just add 
the necessary fields to the ldap-shema document and you are off. Maybe it 
would be a good idea to create a user changeable document, allowing to 
change these values. But it's again your tune. No predefined masks are 
made (as to my knowledge).
