Why not continue to use syslog, but tell it to log dhcpd to a separate log file? Just add these two lines at the bottom of your /etc/syslog.conf (above the !* line): !dhcpd *.* /var/log/dhcpd.log More information is in syslog.conf(5) man page, or here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/configtuning-syslog.html Regards, Ben On Fri, 27 Mar 2015 at 2:23 am Jim Pazarena <fquest@paz.bz> wrote: > I want to place dhcpd log messages in a file rather than the > syslog facility LOG_DAEMON. > So I see that with the command line flag "-d" I can direct messages > to stderr. > > How can I adjust the normal rc.conf to actually TELL the system > the file name?
