[Samba] LDAP problems: samba searches whole database

[werner maes]

Hello

I use samba-3.0.7 & openldap 2.2.13. When I try to join a machine-account 
to the domain, I always get the message "the specified user does not exist".

What happens?
when I try to join, it seems like the whole samba database is being searched.

ldap.log (below)

"uid=u00xxxx,ou=staff,o=kuleuven,c=be" "sambaSID" requested

in var/log/messages: I receive a time-out message.

Oct 15 17:25:30 linsam-15 smbd[3098]:   smbldap_search_suffix: Problem 
during the LDAP search: (unknown) (Timed out)

any ideas as what may cause this?

thanks
