Using Debian Jessie (on a Seagate Dockstar), it has DHclient for it's dhcp client. The damn thing is being started with:
dhclient -v -pf /run/dhclient.eth1.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth1.leases eth1
on all interfaces.
I need to disable the verbose mode, but can't find the config file that launches this when an interface goes up.
What launches dhclient on automatic interface enabling?

Unable to change it. Thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/14743683/1498667 I looked for the Jessie version of ifupdown sources, and per the change log:
ifupdown (0.6.8+nmu3) unstable; urgency=low
- Non-maintainer upload. (with maintainer's consent)
- Correctly make the modification in 0.6.8+nmu2
- Also adjust the way /sbin/dhclient is killed to be comparable to how /sbin/dhclient is stopped
- Invoke dhclient with -v to maintain equivalent verbosity to dhclient3
- Conflict with dhcp-client v2
This is hard coded into ifupdown, and I would have to patch, compile, and replace to fix this "improvement". Alternatively, I need to see if BusyBox syslogd can filter this out. Yay.

Of course I've already gone grepping in /etc and can't find anything. – cde – 2018-02-02T20:19:10.300
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf does not exist? at min there should be a shell script /sbin/dhclient-script – DRP – 2018-02-02T23:25:02.500
Neither of which I see anything regarding verbose or building the string for launching dhclient with the pid or leases. – cde – 2018-02-02T23:53:35.730
how about /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-eth0.conf – DRP – 2018-02-03T00:42:58.663
@DRP doesn't exist, and grep doesn't find pid or dhclient anywhere in /var/lib – cde – 2018-02-03T01:23:10.323
@DRP found my answer. Thanks for the help though. – cde – 2018-02-03T02:42:10.107
