Hi:

Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file and commant the line
#bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd
and then run inetd -c. The messages will stop.

Thanks

Hi,

Maybe a lower debug level could help.
Extracted from "man bootpd":

"The -d option sets the verbosity level (1-3) of the logging emitted by the daemon via syslog (see syslog(3C))."

Kind regards,
Zigor
