[Logcheck-devel] dhclient: parse_option_buffer: option ... larger than buffer
Lately, I've been getting messages of the form dhclient: parse_option_buffer: option unknown-177 (65) larger than buffer. from logcheck. dhclient has not been updated, so this is likely a change in the configuration of my ISP. As the logcheck maintainer, I now wonder what I should do with those. In general, I tend to think that ignoring such warnings is safe because the software caught the error condition and thus I expect that it knows how to deal with it. But I'd like to get some second opinions on this: should Debian's logcheck filter such messages? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck at debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems if con is the opposite of pro, is congress the opposite of progress? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
