Package: dhcpcd5
Version: 7.1.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
when I start a global instance of dhcpcd via the initscript, I get its output
messages (about getting or renewing a lease, binding interfaces, etc.) on tty1,
mixed with the messages from sysvinit/rc. This makes the latter hard or
impossible
to read because they scroll off.
According to the dhcpcd manpage, adding the quiet option to the config file
should silence such output, so I did that (see included config at bottom).
However
it makes no difference whatsoever.
Looking at the code I can see nowhere that any action is taken on this option.
The big switch statement in parse_option() in if-options.c only has a trivial
no-op
case for 'q' which seems to be the argument it might get in this situation.
