I'm using a kernel module that sends warn (KERN_WARN ) log level
messages to the console but I want them to only go to the logs. I would
like only kernel messages that are log level error or higher to go to
the console. So I added the following to the top of the default LFS
/etc/syslog.conf file:
*.error /dev/console
However, this does not prevent the warning messages from going to the
console. In fact, I even tried this:
*.* /dev/null
And STILL the warning messages go to the console. I'm at a loss as to
why this is. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I've looked at
the man page for syslog and I couldn't find anything there as to why
this would be happening.
Now what I did find out so far is that the command "setterm -msglevel 3"
will prevent KERN_WARN messages from going to the console, but I'm
concerned that this would interfere with syslog.conf which is where this
stuff should be set anyway. Also, this command is terminal specific and
I'm not sure how I would even execute it for each terminal. I don't
want any KERN_WARN messages going to any console, even when nobody is
logged in, otherwise it just periodically spams the heck out of the console.
