How to Log DHCP Transactions to a Separate syslog File

1. Become superuser on the DHCP server system.

2. Edit the /etc/syslog.conf file on the server system and add a line of the following format:

   localn.notice path-to-logfile

   where n is the syslog facility number you specified for transaction logging, and path-to-logfile is the complete path to the file to use for logging transactions.

   For example, you might add the following line:

   local0.notice /var/log/dhcpsrvc

   See the syslog.conf(4) man page for more information about the syslog.conf file.
