For various reasons, I consider the leases file that dhclient keeps a privacy issue because these leases are not only used when there is no reply from a DHCP server, but also sent in the initial solicitation. This potentially discloses some information I don't want disclosed. I can specify `-vl /dev/null` without impacting the operation, but this means that I'd have to hook into e.g. wicd and ifupdown to change the default invocation. Would it please be possible to let me specify in dhclient.conf that I do not want any leases file log? Thank you,
