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?
