admin emails - User for OpenLDAP

English Network/Internet
#1

OpenSuse 11.0

when trying to configure LDAP, I am being flooded by emails with the following message;

Subject; user for OpenLDAP

message;
Attempt from 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 to slapd at Wed Jun 25 15:03:21 PDT
2008

It appears to be a warning/error message alerting the administrator (me) that someone is editing part of the system? How do I turn this off? AppArmor is off now, and the firewall is on.

Thank you in advance,
~Ralph

Update;

The only way I can get the emails to stop is to turn off the server. I suspect that during the install process I added an email address that is being used to notify me of a change to LDAP (which I am trying to configure).

Any suggestions?

Hi
Have a look in the /etc/aliases file. If this is where it is ( root:
your username springs to mind ), edit this file and run the command
newaliases to make the changes.

Sorry Malcom, not the fix. There is some sort of admin / security email alert option that is turned on…I need to turn it off and adjust the settings.

Thanks for trying,
~Ralph

Hi
Is there a file with the extension ‘ldif’, if so it may be there?

I’ll do a grep to look for the file, thanks!
