Logging of information in /var/log/messages
Last modified: 2007-03-26 23:37:59 EDT
I need to know how to disble the logging of DHCPD leases into the file /var/log/messages. I dont seem to be able to do it with syslogd. I have a big network with 200 machines all configured by DHCP and my file /var/log/messages is really big because of this feature. Christian Lipine B. SC. A. (Id.)
You can modify /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd to have DHCPDARGS='-d 2>/dev/null' which will (if my guess is correct) send all the log messages to /dev/null instead of via syslog.
I have modify the file /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd but it still does not work. I have also try to start the daemon manually with dhcpd -d 2>/dev/null but it does not work. Please I really need to deactivate the logging of dhcpd in /var/log/messages. Christian Lepine B. Sc. A. (Ed.)
