He might have it anyway from klogd's man page: The klogd daemon also allows the ability to alter the pre sentation of kernel messages to the system console. Con sequent with the prioritization of kernel messages was the inclusion of default messaging levels for the kernel. In a stock kernel the the default console log level is set to 7. Any messages with a priority level numerically lower than 7 (higher priority) appear on the console. When -c is given on the commandline the klogd daemon will execute a system call to inhibit all kernel messages from being displayed on the console. Former versions always issued this system call and defaulted to all kernel mes sages except for panics. This is handled differently nowardays so klogd doesn't need to set this value anymore. The argument given to the -c switch specifies the priority level of messages which will be directed to the console. Note that messages of a priority value LOWER than the indicated number will be directed to the console. For example, to have the kernel display all mes sages with a priority level of 3 (KERN_ERR) or more severe the following command would be executed: klogd -c 4
recieved messages asking if I have the /var/log/messages file there before the service started, answer is yes. I just recently updated to RH 7.3 so I will see if I still get them on the console with the new OS.
In RedHat, the klogd options are set in: /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S12syslog Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
