Package: libnss-ldap Version: 251-7.5etch1 Severity: wishlist nss_ldap is fairly chatty when reporting lookup failures or problems reaching the configured LDAP server(s). For example:
Feb 28 03:52:05 coral sshd[5454]: nss_ldap: reconnected to LDAP server ldap://1.2.3.4 after 1 attempt If the LDAP server is unreachable, it seems to log a warning for each nameservice call that fails. Some of our machines only have intermittent connectivity to their LDAP servers, so they log several megabytes of this daily. For now, we're going to look at filtering it out at the syslog level (we run syslog-ng). I looked at the source, and there doesn't seem to be a way to disable these log messages. Would adding that be useful for others, or perhaps implementing some very basic rate limiting? -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: alpha Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-alpha-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
