Hi,

Does anyone know how to prevent snmpd from writing the below into
/var/log/messages/

Nov 29 19:35:02 serenity snmpd[2287]: Received SNMP packet(s) from
UDP: [127.0.0.1]:34309
Nov 29 19:35:02 serenity snmpd[2287]: Connection from UDP: [127.0.0.1]:34309

We query the server to gain load stats etc every 5 mins and this is
causing /var/log/messages to fill up pretty quickly/

I do not care about seeing normal connection info from snmpd, but
retaining logging for other info such as malformed packets, bad
community strings etc is of interest.

Thanks
