[Samba] Logs Filling With Errors - Login Working Fine

[Christopher Springer]

Hello All:

Could someone please explain if the following log output is normal for 
my setup (see below)?  Setup is WAN-based Samba/LDAP domain with Samba 
PDC and master LDAP at corporate location.  6 Samba/LDAP BDC's with 1 at 
same location as PDC and then 1 at each remote site connected via WAN.  
NetBIOS information communicated via WINS server on corporate PDC over 
VPN.  LDAP directory is replicated using "syncrepl" module.  Clients are 
XP and Windows 7.

smbstatus --version:
     Version 3.5.4-63.fc13

rpm -qa | grep openldap:
     openldap-2.4.21-10.fc13.i686
     openldap-devel-2.4.21-10.fc13.i686
     openldap-servers-2.4.21-10.fc13.i686
     openldap-clients-2.4.21-10.fc13.i686

BDC):

If anyone can tell me how to get rid of this error message it would be 
greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
