Is there such an option in either > /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/ttys to fix this? It depends on what's generating the messages. If they're in high-intensity, they're coming from the kernel, so you'll have to shut up the kernel to quiet the messages. Kernel messages aren't reroutable using syslogd; they always go on the console.
