You have to change the level keyword in /etc/syslog.conf to select or not to select what type of messages you want to log. The level describes the severity of the message, and is a keyword from the following ordered list (higher to lower): emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info and debug. You may want to start with warning as notice, info, and debug generates the kind of general operational msgs you are seeing. For more details read the man page on syslog.conf -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of David Kelly Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2002 10:19 AM To: davidd@datasphereweb.com; questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: dhclient too verbose in /var/log/messages On Sunday 24 November 2002 12:48 am, David Daugherty wrote: > It's not much to go on but you might be able to find something under > 'man dhclient.conf' BTDT.
