Hi,

Is there a way to prevent slapd from using syslog when running in the foreground? I run slapd permanently under the runit process supervision package with -d 256, and it already captures stderr to it's own logging system. However, I also get the same log messages cluttering up my syslog with local4.debug lines. Running in the foreground is pretty much a requirement for using process supervision and almost every service related software supports it for this reason. The background logging, despite running in the foreground, is undesired behavior.

You could direct your syslog daemon to ignore those messages. Look for lines which include:

*.debug local4.debug local4.*
