Hello I have hostapd and dnsmasq running nicely on my machine (thanks to this mailing list :-) ). However, they are much too verbose to my mind.
I haven't found a good way to reduce verbosity so far. For hostapd it seems to be hard coded in /etc/init.d/hostapd. If I increase the levels in this file to "3" it seems to be o.k. for me. But I guess, it would be nicer to have a user.conf variable for that, if it is possible. For dnsmasq I haven't found any way so far to reduce logging. So my log is filling up with Jul 23 09:31:47 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:31:47 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:31:57 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:31:57 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:04 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:04 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:32:14 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:14 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:20 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:20 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:32:27 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:27 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:32:34 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:34 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:36 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:36 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:32:45 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:45 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:32:54 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:32:54 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:33:01 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:33:01 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:33:09 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:33:09 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:33:10 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:33:10 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:33:24 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:33:24 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 LaptopMB Jul 23 09:33:30 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPREQUEST(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 Jul 23 09:33:30 pbx daemon.info dnsmasq-dhcp[2588]: DHCPACK(br1) 172.17.2.49 00:1f:16:0d:7b:41 and so on and so forth. Does anybody know how to limit logging to error messages only? Btw. for the next astlinux version, it might be a good feature to have configurable settings on the gui for logging information, if this is possible. So, in the normal case, one would use just error logging. And only if there are problems of some kind, one would switch to debug logging :-) Thanks Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
