-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi,
in the past I have heard of people grepping the log file for: 'MULTI_sva: pool returned IPv4' to keep some sort of log regarding connections/disconnections. The idea is that 'pool returned IPv4' is believed to be logged when the client disconnects and their IPv4 is release back to the pool. However, that is not the case! 'MULTI_sva: pool returned IPv4' is issued when a client connects not when it disconnects. I grepped the source and there is only one occurrence of 'pool returned': multi.c:1477: msg( M_INFO, "MULTI_sva: pool returned IPv4=%s, IPv6=%s", I presume then that the function using it is, in fact, querying the pool for a usable address and the pool "returns" the address for use. (This msg is even printed at --verb 1) Further grepping gave me the impression that IPs being released by clients disconnecting is not logged at any verb setting. My point here is: * The 'pool returned' message may be misunderstood by users. * There is no 'IP returned to pool' message at all. I don't use this myself but I have been asked about it in the past and the advice I gave was incorrect (Sorry about that). Could this be improved by rewording the current message and having a corresponding message for IPs actually being returned to the pool ?
