There are two main issues with this. 1) It is self-defeating. To the average sysadmin who seeks to debug NetworkManager issues, it rapidly becomes impossible to hone in the actual problem itself, as one must wade through thousands of useless debug messages. Most of the messages logged by NetworkManager are completely orthogonal to its operation, at least in my case, so any claim that they might enhance bug reports is specious. 2) It masks real issues on the system. If your log is 75% full of debug messages, it becomes difficult to spot real problems that arise and report to syslog. Additionally, especially in the case where NetworkManager ends up in a workstation image, those who monitor logs via logcheck may end up with MB of spam in their log report emails. Debug modes are good. But they should not be enabled by default, and they should certainly be able to be turned off. This error in nm goes beyond bad coding style; it is dangerous to system security as it obscures actual problems. Trevor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
