thank you for the information.

anyway I still find it regrettable that multiple backends are no 
longer possible since we have our users stored in LDAP and the 
machine-accounts on the local PDC.

a colleague of mine has some serious issues with 3.0.23a, that's why 
I'm no upgrading yet.

just for information this is what he sees in his logs:
