I have tried to modify /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd.conf with -d arg but it doesn't work. I have about 200 computer logging DHCP request to my log. How can I disable logging from DHCPD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start dhcpd 2.Client request 3.logging to /var/log/messages Actual Results: logging to /var/log/messages Expected Results: stop logging to /var/log/messages Additional info:
At least with dhcp 3.0pl1, the -d option to dhcpd runs it in the foreground as well, not good... I would suggest that the right solution is to just use logrotate and logwatch to postprocess logs rather than trying to prevent stuff going into the logs. You can also muck around with syslog.conf if you want to reduce the general level of detail being logged by syslog.
