Hi everybody.
Need help.
Running FreeBSD 4.8, all files are up to date, cvsuped yesterday, and I'm
connected to the net via ADSL. Dynamic IP, but hardly ever change.
dhclient is filling up my /var/log/messages.
Every 10th minute it makes a new request and logging it.
I've tried to request a longer lease time in my dhclient.conf without any
luck, and I've tried to get it to log to another logfile named dhclient,
resulting in it logging to two files. dhclient and /var/log/messages.
I've tried to talk to my ISP about this problem, without any luck.
I think most of the computers connected to this network are win-boxes,
and they don't seem to have this problem. ( Don't log this kind of info )
How can I keep the program from logging all this info ?
Not really a problem, but very annoying.
