Hi, I have a PC that gets its internet via dhcp-client. Eventually this will connect to my ISP, but for now it is served by a dhcpd-server on another FreeBSD PC of mine. On the server, /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf is configured as: authoritative; ddns-update-style ad-hoc; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.254; option routers 10.0.0.1; option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option domain-name "thuis.domein"; option domain-name-servers ercc.snu.ac.kr, erccw1.snu.ac.kr; default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; } When I go to the client PC (10.0.0.254) and check its /var/log/messages file, it is flooded with lines like this: [...] Apr 27 10:28:21 router dhclient: New Network Number: 10.0.0.0 Apr 27 10:28:21 router dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.0.0.255 Apr 27 10:33:14 router dhclient: New Network Number: 10.0.0.0 Apr 27 10:33:14 router dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.0.0.255 Apr 27 10:37:57 router dhclient: New Network Number: 10.0.0.0 Apr 27 10:37:57 router dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.0.0.255 Apr 27 10:42:28 router dhclient: New Network Number: 10.0.0.0 Apr 27 10:42:28 router dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.0.0.255 Apr 27 10:46:24 router dhclient: New Network Number: 10.0.0.0 Apr 27 10:46:24 router dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.0.0.255 Apr 27 10:51:11 router dhclient: New Network Number: 10.0.0.0 Apr 27 10:51:11 router dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.0.0.255 Apr 27 10:54:58 router dhclient: New Network Number: 10.0.0.0 Apr 27 10:54:58 router dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.0.0.255 I don't need all these lines in my messages file; it actually obscures other relevant information in here. What can I do to dhclient to not do this? Thanks, Rob.
