/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf is configured with
"log-facility local7;"
and /etc/syslog.conf is also configured with
"local7.* /var/log/dhcpd.log"
However, /var/log/messages is filling up with "DHCPDISCOVER / no free
leases" messages for those clients that are unknown to the DHCP server
(eg. on a different subnet). I suspect that these messages are being
caught by "*.notice" which is why they end up in /var/log/messages.
Is there a way to prevent this happening?
Many thanks,
Steve
