Is there a way to turn off this useless logging?
Ok I found the answer to this problem. The /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd script
contains the following code snippet:
if [ -e /etc/sysconfig/snmpd.options ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/snmpd.options
else
OPTIONS="-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a"
fi
Note that the OPTIONS= line indicates that smnpd starts with both -Lsd
and -Lf /dev/null. As a result a ps auxww shows:
root 19645 0.0 0.2 12340 4436 ? S 12:05 0:00
/usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a
and apparently the -Lsd overrides the -Lf /dev/null so everything gets
logged. If I create a /etc/sysconfig/snmpd.options file containing:
OPTIONS="-LS 4 d -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a"
then only warnings or worse are logged to /var/log/messages and the
useless connection messages get suppressed. The key is to remove the -Lf
/dev/null and replace -Lsd with -LS 4 d. The latter switch says to use
syslog to log messages from the daemon, but only if the priority is
warning or worse. No more unwanted log entries.
