Yep, I discovered that olcd was vastly over-eager about complaining
about this; it generated one mesage per knuckle per incoming request
(whether related or not). The following changes were made in the
source, and will be placed on the server when I'm done fixing another
bug (so I don't have to do server binary tricks at 2am twice).
[1] olcd will only complain when creating the knuckle or when altering
its value.
[2] if the principal's realm is not ATHENA.MIT.EDU, it will go to
syslog at `notice', but not to Zephyr.
[3] the message will include the realm of the principal sending the request.
As always, thanks for reporting.
