Hi,
We currently have a postfix/dovecot setup using nss_ldap with PAM for authentication. Everything is working fine, but there are excessive "error" messages in /var/log/messages that I'd like to prevent from happening.
Since auth_userdb defaults to passwd and that our users are not in the passwd file, we get the following message everytime a user logs in:
Jul 7 13:34:37 hostname dovecot(pam_unix)[32206]: check pass; user unknown Jul 7 13:34:37 hostname dovecot(pam_unix)[32206]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=
We of course also get the input that a user has logged in, in /var/log/maillog:
imap-login: Jul 07 13:34:37 Info: Login: username [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
I've tried changing auth_verbose to no, and I still get those messages. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks a lot, Steve Johnson
