You can use the patch at the end of this email to disable the messages
or you can replace the script entirely as I have done on my firewall
here at home in my dhclient.conf: script "/usr/local/etc/dhclient-scrip
t";
The stock dhclient-script is normally installed from
src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/scripts/freebsd, however you can copy
sbin/dhclient/dhclient-script.sh to another location and use it
instead. This is basically what I did on my firewall system at home,
with modifications to update my jailed-caching-only DNS, re-establish
my VPN to work, restart ntpd, and resync IP Filter (ipf -y) if the IP
address changes. Generally, what I'm trying to say is that there are
other options and you can even modify those options. (Many of the
questions that are posted on -stable, -security, and the IP Filter
mailing lists can be easily resolved by simple modifications to the
dhclient-script of your choice.)
