On the samba-technical mailing list there is this exact problem detailed, so your help is no longer needed to configure reading of unixHomeDirectory and loginShell by other users, but the question about anonymous access still stands - it would be much better for each client to have anonymous access to LDAP rather than needing the dedicated user, which brings with it security holes.

In our current testing environment, we are using nslcd to get user and group information from the Samba4 LDAP server, using the last part of objectSid as uidNumber. The configuration is designed to pull down unixHomeDirectory and loginShell if they exist, but they default to standard values if they do not. nslcd on each machine binds to LDAP using a dedicated user account, nslcd-service, and the entire setup works pretty well.
