As far as i know not, in my case the copy of schema file was enough, i
could not imagine why it needs altering.
I mean this file (On FreeBSD).
/usr/local/share/examples/samba/LDAP/samba.schema

And that needs to be copied to the loaction mentioned in your slapd.conf
file:
in my case:
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema

Johan
