slapd.oc.conf = objectclass definitions
slapd.at.conf  = attribute syntax definitions for any attributes which don't
have the default syntax of cis

Here's what I've done - seems to work OK so far:

1) Dont make any changes to slapd.oc.conf  or slapd.at.conf. One day you
might want to know what these files looked like "out of the box".

2) Create 2 new files "myco.oc.conf" and "myco.at.conf". These will hold
your additional objectclass and attributetype definitions (see 4).

3) In slapd.conf (yes slapd.conf, not slapd.*.conf) add:

include <path>myco.oc.conf
include <path>myco.at.conf

4) To add new objectclasses( eg inetorgperson or inetlocalmailreceipient,
both of which I'm using successfully):
in myco.oc.conf:

objectclass inetOrgPerson
     requires
        objectclass,
        cn,
        sn
    allows
        description,
        seeAlso,
        telephoneNumber,
        userPassword,
        destinationIndicator,
        facsimileTelephoneNumber,
        labelledURI,
        etc,
        etc

Be very careful with the commas! (no comma after last requires or allows
attribute, blank line between objectclass definitions)
--------
in myco.at.conf:

attribute    labelledURI    ces

etc, etc, for any non-cis attributes
---------------

5) I'd recommend you don't run with schema checking off - the pain of
getting your schema definitions right may be nothing compared to the pain of
recovering from the mess you'll create without using defined schema.

Good luck. I'm new enough at this to recall the frustration of getting
schema sorted, feel free to ask for more help.
