Greetings,
I'm just wondering how one can make the bridging tools stop spamming
the virtual consoles? I would rather have all those "entering
forwarding state", "entering learning state" and "entering disabled
state" messages go to a log than have them plastered all over
whichever console I happened to be logged into to work.
Thanks!
Assuming you are running relatively recent kernel, the messages show up
at loglevel 6 (informational).
Noted.
Linux omena 2.6.11-imac #2 Thu Jun 23 11:44:22 EEST 2005 ppc GNU/Linux
...and other similar 2.6 kernels also on my i386 and hppa hosts.
You need to change the console log level and possibly change syslog.conf.
To change console log level, either boot without "debug" on the command line,
preferably with "quiet" on the command line.
Sorry, to which kernel option are you refering, exactly?
My bootloader options are already rather spartan as it is; no debug there:
root=/dev/hda1 ro elevator=cfq
In /etc/syslog.conf look for anylines of the form:
kern.* /dev/console
and either comment it out completely, or change the '*' to
kern.notice /dev/console
The only item that could reach the console there is:
*.emerg *
All other logs are configured to go to specific log files.
