Placing a sed filter in /etc/syslog.conf would be one way to stifle the chattyness but that should be the avenue of last resort. How might I convince dhclient to be quiet and/or log elsewhere? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
