I wasn't able to figure out how silence specific messages from a given daemon at a specific level. I read up on syslog.conf(5) and saw that I could silence all warnings from dhcpd, but I don't want to do thatâjust those for this specific directive. In the meantime, I realized that my list of machines that need IPv4 addresses is so small I'm probably better off statically-assigning those machines their addresses instead of running dhcpd at all, so I've done that. If there is a way to silence a log message from a "facility" at a given "level" without affecting other messages at the same "facility" and "level," I'd be curious to know, as I'm sure I'll run into this issue again with something else.
