samba - Jun 2002 - Samba-LDAP:Ldap call each time you open a text file?

Hello,

When I open a text file on a Samba fileserver using LDAP for 
authentication, Samba always makes these LDAP calls (see below). The user 
has been authenticated so why does Samba still makes these LDAP connections?

Any ideas?

/var/log/ldap.log when opening a text file.

ldap-hh slapd[22940]: conn=3922 op=19 SRCH base="o=kuleuven,c=be"
scope=2
filter="(uid=m2000944)"
ldap-hh slapd[22940]: conn=3922 op=19 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 textldap-hh
slapd[22942]: conn=3922 op=20 SRCH base="o=kuleuven,c=be" scope=2
filter="(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(|(memberUid=m2000944)(uniqueMember=uid=m2000944,ou=stud,o=kuleuven,c=be)))"

ldap-hh slapd[22942]: conn=3922 op=20 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 text
ldap-hh slapd[22944]: conn=3922 op=21 SRCH base="o=kuleuven,c=be"

Samba's ldap handling is 'inefficient' to say the least.  It also
hits
the underlying getpw*() interface a fair bit - particulary becouse
clients often request additional info about a file - like owner - and
sysadmins have various smb.conf options set.

Thanks for the information.
Do you know whether this ldap handling will be improved?
I tried to eliminate the smb.conf options that could effect this behaviour 
but with no result. The ldap calls were still made.
