    From Tony van der Hoff@3:770/3 to All on Fri Nov 5 15:18:06 2021
    Hi,

    how can I prevent dhcpd logging each REQUEST and ACK it receives to the
    syslog?

    Cheers, Tony

    Thanks for your help, Chris;

    As I understand it, both links essentially say the same thing:
    + in dhcpd.conf, insert "log-facility local7"
    + in syslog.conf insert "local7.warn /var/log/syslog"

    then reboot (?)

    Sadly that fails to have any effect.

    Do you, or anone else have any other suggestions, please?

    Cheers, Tony

    In syslog.conf
    Change local7.warn to local7.none on the /var/log/syslog line
    add a line
    local7.warn /var/log/dhcpd.log
    Or
    change local7.warn to local7.
    Try .error instead of .warn
