Dhclient not logging DHCPDISCOVER, REQUESTS
-
Hi
I am on 2.2.4 and dhclient is not logging any requests anymore. Actually, it logs these intermittently, but last was several weeks ago. Dhclient works flawlessly otherwise. Anyone else experiencing this? And why?This is a snip from dhcp.log from earlier:

Hi,
Upstream link stays up ?
Who is the upstream DHCP server ? If this server becomes out of order or unreachable, I do understand your logs.edit : obtained IP is good ? Maybe only something is wrong with the logging part.

DHCP works ok for me, its just the logging part that I believe is somehow silenced as there should be a lot of DHCPREQ/DHCPACK to from dhcp-server.

…. there should be a lot of DHCPREQ/DHCPACK to from dhcp-server.
What about a longer (server DHCP) lease time ;)
Right now, you have 8 hours (lease will be renewed by client half way, = 4 hours or 14400 sec) -
I think you misunderstand my issue here. I NEED dhclient to log more info to syslog as I am troubleshooting dhcp issues with my ISP. How can I get dhclient to, consistently log, all these DHCPREQUESTS and ACKS ?
