Logs Gone Wild

[Dave Hagan]

Can anyone enlighten me what might be the cause of this recurring log entry? It’s dominating the log file.

Sep 17 22:06:10 doppler /usr/sbin/PasswordService: incorrect digest response
Sep 17 22:06:12 doppler /usr/sbin/PasswordService: incorrect digest response

Sep 17 22:06:24 doppler /usr/sbin/PasswordService: incorrect digest response
Sep 17 22:06:40 doppler /usr/sbin/PasswordService: incorrect digest response

Thanks for your help! (As always…)

I am noticing an accompanying “match” of sorts in the slapd log:

Still lost as to why this is occuring. Help?

How would I do this? And will it break anything/harm anything?

I was about to post this same thing, as I am getting those
“/usr/sbin/PasswordService: incorrect digest response” ‘s every few seconds as well.

Do you get

Sep 27 2007 10:21:29	RSAVALIDATE: success.
Sep 27 2007 10:21:29	USER: {0x46a786c55cedb1a50000007800000077, userName} is the current user.
Sep 27 2007 10:21:29	AUTH2: {0x46a786c55cedb1a50000007800000077, userName} CRAM-MD5 authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect).
Sep 27 2007 10:21:29	QUIT: {0x46a786c55cedb1a50000007800000077, userName} disconnected.
Sep 27 2007 10:21:35	RSAVALIDATE: success.

in the PasswordServer.Server log?

Or is that just me?

You may want to check out this previous post, though it did nothing for me.

No, I don’t get that in my logs. It’s the weirdest thing, and I don’t know why it’s happening. What I do know is that it’s takin CPU cycles. I should note by the way that I am running the PowerPC 10.4.8 server. I haven’t upgraded beyond that yet due to the reported crashyness of 10.4.9 AFP. I’d like to know what this is…
