DHCPINFORM / DHCPACK appearing every few hours in syslog
Hello,
hcpd: isc-dhcpd-V3.0.1
clients: Windows XP Pro
I have the default lease time set to 7 days. However, I'm seeing DHCPINFORM messages for each client every few hours. I would only expect to see one after 3.5 days.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks,
Steve :)

Thanks for the answer pjedmond, but I'm not running a WINS server, just Samba (WINS disabled).

Damn those pesky features!
So, assuming I have no DHCP problems that I want to know about, the only way to stop this is to prevent syslog from logging them?

Hence the requirement for much more regular appearances of these packets:
