Mmm
The implication is that the ypserv NIS schema _has_ to be installed and
that windows is the only way to work with rfc2307. There is no mention
of samba-tool to do the same on the DC.

how about this as the first paragraph:
'Samba4 comes complete with a complete set of rfc2307 attributes which
are available immediately following a default provision. The following
howto is only needed should you need to work with rfc2307 from a windows
computer.'

Then another howto on manipulation rfc2307 on the DC from the Unix side:
1. samba-tool
2. ldbedit
3. ldbmodify
