Or redirected to another tty? Or what? Yes, read the manpage: man syslogd.conf Specifically try changing this line: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console in /etc/syslog.conf. If you wanted to stop receiving messages about logging on, perhaps try: *.err;kern.debug;auth.none;mail.crit /dev/console remember to send a hangup signal to syslogd: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid` after changing /etc/syslog.conf.
