In sssd_pam, I have these messages starting from Aug 19 (every minute):
(Sun Aug 19 05:09:28 2012) [sssd[pam]] [pam_dp_reconnect_init] (0):
Could not reconnect to LDAP provider.
but in syslog I only have this one line from Aug 20:
Aug 20 16:46:45 bqsma0001ap sssd[be[LDAP]]: LDAP connection error:
(null)
For the rest there's no log (since of course it's a prod system). Is
there a logging level I can safely set that will not fill my partition?
Also, for completeness: version sssd-1.5.1-66.el6_2.3.x86_64 on CentOS
6.2. Maybe some patch after that version fixed it, since 1.8 is already
released.
