What does "in LDAP search for user object unser the domain..." mean?

Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux

Situation

In /var/log/messages the following error may be seen:

/usr/sbin/namcd[8543]: Error [80] in LDAP search for user object unser the domain with base=o=myOrg filter=(&(objectclass=posixAccount)(uid=*))

It is unknown how "unser" fits in as there are no users with that name in the tree.

Resolution

 "unser" is actually a typographical error for "under".  This has been reported to Novell Engineering.
