I cannot answer for what might be cooked in since I did not port this over to the arm device on which it's running. But I can say that the configuration file lacks the log-dhcp parameter (and has for the last three or so reboots), and that the startup command is: Dnsmasq -D >From my /etc/rc.loca

Hi, All: I woke today to find that for the second time my /var/log filesytem was full due to the size of the messages log. This time and last time, the log was over 95% due to dhcp logging, and I don't understand why. I have commented out the log-dhcp line in /opt/etc/dnsmasq.conf (where my
