>Description:
dhclient causes messages to be sent to the system log every time the DHCP
lease is renewed, even if the nothing has changed.

The environement variables new_network_number and new_broadcast_address
are always set in the environment when the dhclient deamon envokes the
dhclient-script script. The dhclient-script generates log messages when
these environment variables are set. The log messages are of the form:
dhclient: New Network Number: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
dhclient: New Broadcast Address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
>How-To-Repeat:
These messages are generated whenever a DHCP lease is renewed

>Fix:
Apply the following patch to /src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/scripts/freebsd

41,44d40
< if [ x$new_network_number != x ]; then
<    $LOGGER New Network Number: $new_network_number
< fi
<

<  $LOGGER New Broadcast Address: $new_broadcast_address
