No, you didn't do anything wrong! But as long as there is no standard
way for registering machines in the Directory I could use other schemas
e.g. country=gr, o=FORTH, OU=ICS, machine=danae or
country=gr, o=FORTH, OU=ICS, network=ICSnet, subnet=BuildingA, machine=danae

Given these different schemas how could anyone implement a DUA that is
given as input UFNs for machines and return their entries?

>Am I missing something?

I just want to say that we need a well-defined subtree under every O or OU 
level for registering machines so that anyone that writes a DUA that searches
for machine: rubble, csd, uwo, ca (this is a UFN for rubble, right?) will know
where to search. (This is because the end-user is not aware of domains or
networks.)
