Well local3 is not a good one to use. Use local6. And change it like so:
local6.* -/var/adm/dhcp.log
then look for this line:
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none; /var/adm/messages
and change to:
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local6.none; /var/adm/messages
then at the top of your dhcpd.conf file enter this:
log-facility local6;

I edit the /etc/syslog.conf file to add these lines:
local3.err -/var/adm/dhcp.log
local3.info -/var/adm/dhcp.log
local3.alert -/var/adm/dhcp.log
local3.warning -/var/adm/dhcp.log
local3.none -/var/adm/messages
Make sure the dhcp.log file is there. The dhcpd.conf file contains this
line:
log-facility local3;
I restart the dhcpd as well as the syslogd processes. Still I get these
no free leases messages every few seconds into the /var/adm/messages
file.
What is wrong here?
John

Also use a - in front of the path like so:
-/var/log/dhcpd.log
This tells syslog to change and write 20 lines at a time. It will
increase performance and lower your drive activity dramatically. Also
good to use with apache logs, etc. With syslog-ng set sync(0) to
sync(20).
