How to get rid of pam_unix authentication failure message when using pam_ldap

Hi there,

I'm using pam_ldap on centos 5, everything works fine but each time a user logs in, i get a pam_unix error in my logs like below:

authdaemond: pam_unix(pop3:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=  user=login

I understand that the system is trying to authenticate via pam_unix and fails because it is a ldap user, then the logon is successful with pam_ldap, but my logs are full of this kind of messages, and i want to get rid of it to distinguish brute force attacks more easily...

Here is my /etc/pam.d/system-auth :

auth        required      pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth        requisite     pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth        sufficient    pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
auth        required      pam_deny.so

account     required      pam_unix.so broken_shadow
account     sufficient    pam_localuser.so
account     sufficient    pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet
account     [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] pam_ldap.so
account     required      pam_permit.so

password    requisite     pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3
password    sufficient    pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok
password    sufficient    pam_ldap.so use_authtok
password    required      pam_deny.so

session     optional      pam_keyinit.so revoke
session     required      pam_limits.so
session     [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid
session     required      pam_unix.so
session     optional      pam_ldap.so

I think i should play with the quiet thing but it doesn't seems to do what i want.
