Hi Ken,

I have seen these message since I first installed OSXS 1.2, except my 
repeat messages are in the thousands...  I asked multiple times on 
this and other lists, and didn't hear about any patches or fixes.

The easiest way to get rid of the messages, and subsequent load 
creating by this logging is to kill/disable syslogd.  Not the best 
solution if you need to see other logged activity, but it works.

Or upgrade to OSX 10 client.  I haven't seen these errors on 10 
client or server 2.0.

Good luck.

-Dale
