Package: procps Version: 1:3.2.1-2 Severity: wishlist By default, the kernel printk messages which are displayed on the console concern all levels of gravity.
This renders the console unusable for instance if iptables logs are displayed all the time (see bug #132873, for instance, for a discussion around this issue). I think it should be wise to add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf by default : kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 Thus low priority messages wouldn't be displayed on the console, still being available through the syslog files. Thanks in advance.
