My original solution of changing auditd rules was wrong. It turns out that this is an issue with printk log messages from the kernel. Here is some information from the link below discussing this. ... I suggest you alter your /etc/sysctl.conf. Specifcally, you want to tweak the kernel.printk line. # Uncomment the following to stop low-level messages on console kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3 Display: # sysctl kernel.printk kernel.printk = 7 4 1 7 The separators in the output are single tabs, btw. Set. Here the separators are just spaces. Works as well. # sysctl -w kernel.printk="3 4 1 3" kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3 # sysctl kernel.printk kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3 See man sysctl - "configure kernel parameters at runtime" for more. ... https://superuser.com/questions/351387/how-to-stop-kernel-messages-from-flooding-my-console When I set the printk bar to 3 4 1 3, the messages stopped because they weren't high enough priority. Lower number is higher priority. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
