You'd have to have the Oracle LDAP administrator add the correct Samba
schema to the Oracle LDAP server. This might be problematic, as he'd
have to write it himself (if that's at all possible, I don't know Oracle
Internet Directory). He could use the examples in the Linux Samba
distribution document directory for IBM-DS, IBMSecureWay, or nescape4 or
5, as well as the OpenLDAP schema, of course.

This will not help you for two reasons: 1: it's an OpenLDAP server ACL
and is only applicable to the server configuration; 2: it only gives
read access anyway.
