Bug#132873: klogd: could you be more specific ?
Thanks very much. OK. I see... so it should probably be a request filed on procps (which provides sysctl) in order to have /etc/sysctl.conf changed in order to have something like : kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 by default in there. I doubt most users would need to have less important messages than errors displayed on the console. I'll file a bug-report on procps.

The parameters available are those listed under /proc/sys/. [...] $ man proc [...] /proc/sys/kernel/printk The four values in this file are console_loglevel, default_mes- sage_loglevel,minimum_console_level and default_con- sole_loglevel. These values influence printk() behavior when printing or logging error messages. See syslog(2) for more info on the different loglevels. Messages with a higher priority than console_loglevel will be printed to the console. Messages without an explicit priority will be printed with priority default_message_level. minimum_console_loglevel is the minimum (highest) value to which console_loglevel can be set. default_console_loglevel is the default value for con- sole_loglevel.

I couldn't find information about "syctl" :( I also second Benjamin's request. I think it would be great if klogd could be configured without having to change the init script.
