Fw: openldap+syslog question

I should also follow up and say that if you're logging local4.*
somewhere, you should disable it from other syslog entries.  eg. from
RedHat:

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local4.none
/var/log/messages

This one would otherwise have matched, and you'd be logging the same
thing twice.
