	This is coming from syslog daemon. 

$ man syslogd
$ man 5 syslog.conf

	If reading man pages is not your style, edit out lines which have
root in /etc/syslog.conf and kill -HUP <syslog_pid>:

This:

*.err                                           root
*.notice;news.err                               root
*.alert                                         root

Becomes this:

#*.err                                           root
#*.notice;news.err                               root
#*.alert                                         root
