Nope.

I noticed this, and have since created a tmp directory with a users file
in it. This is just a symlink to the actual users file, and I run
builddbm from the tmp directory.

The messages only seem to pop up when there is a high volume of
authentication activity, particularly in the evening, or when
I have just rebooted the auth machine.

Thanks,
