Thanks (at last) to Kees-Jan Dijkzeul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for the tip to look at /etc/syslog.conf. For some reason, the line
sending kernel messages to the console was commented out (not
something I did--is it that way in the sysklogd-1.3-15 RPM for some
reason?). Uncommenting the line
kern.* /dev/console
causes more sensible behavior. I don't know for sure what was
appearing on VC7, but I'll bet it was messages from the X server or
XDM.
Apologies for bothering the list, but e-mail replies to Kees-Jan
bounce.
