Paul,
Here's the relevant (and topmost) lines from /etc/syslog.conf:
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
kern.* /dev/tty12
Notice that I commented out the /dev/console destination. I've no idea
what /dev/tty12 is; perhaps that needs to also be commented out.
I don't see any directions for kernel messages to go to /var/log/messages,
but they sure end up there, too. Ergo, I must be misunderstanding the file
or I'm missing something really simple.
Thoughts?
Rich
