Hello, this is my first post here. I use Debian unstable on my fanless VIA EPIA home workstation. Noise is a big deal for me, so I use noflushd to spin down the HD. However log-messages spin it up, especially dhclient. I have tried adding "-" chars in /etc/syslog.conf but it keeps spinning up.
What is a good/proper method to silence at least dhclient messages? Killing syslogd seems to drastic. Regards, David. --- snip /var/log/syslog --- Aug 18 12:17:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CRON[29363]: (root) CMD ( run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Aug 18 12:38:21 localhost dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 172.21.249.XXX port 67 Aug 18 12:38:21 localhost dhclient: DHCPACK from 172.21.249.XXX Aug 18 12:38:21 localhost dhclient: bound to 213.112.227.YYY -- renewal in 1800 seconds.
