It won't work remotely or in an X windows terminal window. I've got to read the posts better...

[CentOS] What keeps logging to my console?
Hi folks, I have lots of messages like these appearing on my local CentOS 5.2 consoles: Oct 17 12:03:29 machine kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed. Oct 17 12:03:29 machine kernel: pbond0: received packet with own address as source address I have disabled console logging in syslog.conf, and even if I shut down syslog and kernel logger, the messages keep coming on the local consoles (not on remote consoles). So the question is: What process logs directly to the console bypassing syslog/kernel log facilities? How can I find where to stop that? Thanks for any hint or help.

This has nothing to do with syslog. These are kernel printk messages. They also go to syslog for logging in files but they go straight to the kernel console as defined at bootup. Unless you have configured serial consoles, the console for the kernel is the virtual terminals. So the question is: What process logs directly to the console bypassing syslog/kernel log facilities?
