[pptp-devel] Disable logging?

[e***@sms.at]

Hi!

My /var/log/messages is kinda getting flooded (like every 15 minutes, when downloading) by these messages from pptp:

Aug 16 11:14:14 cel-400 pptp[877]: anon log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:397]: buffering out-of-order packet 1824471 (expecting 1824470)

Is there away to turn off logging completely or some way else to keep these messages away from /var/log/messages ?

Best regards,

erdie

This is a known problem. I've attached a patch (against current CVS) which
should allow you to reduce the verbosity of logging by adding the option
"--loglevel 0" to your pptp command line.

James, Rein, please could you take a look at this patch and commit if you
like it. I'm away on holiday for 3 weeks, so I won't be able to test it at
least until I get back.

Cheers, Chris.
