Hi logcheckers,

I just realized that there is a rule matching log entries like

  Jul 13 16:14:03 dario dhcpd: Abandoning IP address 130.60.157.117: pinged before offer

I would prefer to see such messages, because they indicate that either
the machine occupying the IP number in question is misconfigured (using
a static IP which is part of a dhcp pool) or that something bad happened
to the dhcpd.licenses file. 

Both things are of interest to the administrator of the machine running
dhcpd. Therefore I would like to remove the rule. Any opposition?

cheers,
Hp
