Package: ipmasq
Version: 4.0.8-4
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/doc/ipmasq/README.Debian.gz
Tags: patch
The README.Debian file says
* Console messages
If you get annoying kernel messages to the console and bothered by it,
please consider to modify /etc/init.d/klogd as KLOGD="-c 4" or so.
However /etc/default/klogd (klogd=1.5-1) says
# Use KLOGD="-k /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)" to specify System.map
# -c 4 to alter the kernel console log level (deprecated)
# use sysctl instead
#
KLOGD="-x"
Furthermore /etc/sysctl.conf (procps=1:3.2.7-5) says
# Uncomment the following to stop low-level messages on console
#kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
I think the README.Debian file should be changed to say
* Console messages
If you are bothered by a flood of kernel messages on the console,
you can add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf (provided by
procps) to stop them:
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
I hope this is technically correct; I may have misunderstood what
kernel.printk does.
