I'm gonna give it a try. I don't want to really shut off syslog. The thing is I gotta get rid of those messages. The box needs to, when it is installed, just sit there, running maybe something like Sniffit, which has interface that is messed up by the NET msgs. I'm hoping that whatever those emergency msgs are all about, then they will not occur when I do the final installation of the box.
I'm gonna try commenting out the *.emerg line. Thanks again man.
