I want mail logs in a separate log file /var/log/mail so that postfix and dovecot messages are not be buried in /var/log/message. While upgrading to syslog-ng to version 3.13.2 I suddenly ran into an error that prevented the daemon to start. The error message was:

Individual user and password databases for every single service in a network are a nuisance for users and for admins, especially when users have a tendency of forgotting their password. Using LDAP for a centralized user management is less complicated than you might think. Even in a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) environment LDAP is not overkill. Setting it up will pay out in little time.
