Hi,

We've got a jool instance defined as:
# jool -i demo global display
  manually-enabled: true
  pool6: 2001:db8::/64
  lowest-ipv6-mtu: 1280
  logging-debug: false
  zeroize-traffic-class: false

  mtu-plateaus: 65535,32000,17914,8166,4352,2002,1492,1006,508,296,68
  address-dependent-filtering: false
  drop-externally-initiated-tcp: false
  drop-icmpv6-info: false
  source-icmpv6-errors-better: true
  f-args: 11 (0b1011): SrcAddr:1 SrcPort:0 DstAddr:1 DstPort:1

And the setup works just fine for forwarding.

Yet in /var/log/syslog we find tons of:
...

Despite the logging-debug being set to false.

As it seems we already have all debug set to disabled, but still the
loglines are being printed.

Please explain how to stop them.

Best regards,

thx

Hi,

Upstream has committed in the meantime this fix which perfectly addresses
the problem:

https://github.com/NICMx/Jool/commit/62f2c18dba3cd9616030c4fe0fcf39c67c56d7de

Please consider backporting it to the version(s) in Debian.

Thx,
Kilian

Fixed upstream; package 4.1.14-1 already contains the fix.
(I forgot to close this in the changelog.)
