Description
Although we should deal with renumbering mit or whatever we choose to do (see #299) eventually, that's not going to happen soon. In the meantime, it's kind of useless to keep syslogging
Sep 1 13:54:24 tyger hal-acl-tool: nss_nonlocal: removing local group 101 (libuuid) from non-local user geofft Sep 1 13:54:24 tyger last message repeated 4 times Sep 1 13:54:24 tyger getent: nss_nonlocal: removing local group 101 (libuuid) from non-local user geofft Sep 1 13:54:24 tyger hal-acl-tool: nss_nonlocal: removing local group 101 (libuuid) from non-local user geofft Sep 1 13:54:26 tyger last message repeated 62 times
etc. since that message doesn't help anyone: users don't care, and the Debathena team isn't taking any additional action because that message continues to appear on everyone's system.
I see three mostly-reasonable courses of action:
- Special-case libuuid/mit in the logging function
- Suppress this error entirely -- have we seen it be useful for debugging?
- Don't print the error more than once per session (although "session" probably poorly defined for an NSS module)
