cd /etc/openlapd/schema
grep uid *

this will give you every schema in which uid is defined (either as
attribute, or as field of an objectclass). uid is defined in
core.schema.

When you define objectclass 'person' in your entry, then only
attributes of this objectclass can be used within the entry.
You can, however, define multiple objectclasses:

objectClass: person
objectClass: uidobject		(in core, with only attribute 
				 'uid' as a must)
objectClass: inetOrgPerson 	(also 'uid', but with many more 
				 usefull attributes)
uid: suren

With one of those objectclasses added, the 'uid' attribute becomes
available within this entry.

Please look into the schema files (i find the objectclass definitions
very usefull) to find out which attributes are available.
