You will find schema files in:

$serverroot/slapd-$your_server_name/config/schema.

samba schema file included. Such a file can always be found in samba
source distribution (check the version !). 

Unfortunately it's typical that some schema inconsistencies will not
show up during samba runtime until you try an operation on attributes
which have definitions that are broken.

That's OK to use openldap client side in such a config. All the tools
speak simply ldap and there are no interoperability issues that would
stop samba from normal operation.
