then you will have a bigger problem with the "RTR-ADVERT" messages that dnsmasq issues every 3//4/5 seconds for every started interface. Yes, that's definitely a no-go. I'm pretty sure nobody would stand for
Speaking of logging, if you do not like the lease renewal messages, that. If that's how dnsmasq operates, we can't switch to using dnsmasq until that's remedied.
One-line replacement fix should "fix" the problem: change LOG_INFO to LOG_DEBUG and I am confident that it should be in 2.64. You mentioned that users were griping about other messages. I do believe that there are too many LOG_INFO messages and perhaps some of them need to have more to differentiate them and, even more likely, do issue many of those messages unless log-dhcp is specified. [otherwise, finding the real information in vast quantities of data becomes very challenging] But, it was also pointed out that too many messages means that you have not "tuned" (filtered) you syslog sufficiently. That is a very real point and could have been used for the RTR-ADVERT messages too except they really belongs in LOG_DEBUG. Gene
