That you can see for yourself, /etc/syslog.conf is where its all defined.
However if you are so concerned about what goes on when connected to the
internet, why not just edit /etc/syslog.conf to send all messages to the
console, do the following just before dailing and comment out the line
after closing the internet connection
add a line as;
*.* /dev/console
then get the Process ID with 'ps ax | grep syslogd'
'kill -HUP PID#'
All messages will now be echoed to console F1
I do think you are being a little "over concerned" unless you have
something/one to fear.
