check your /etc/syslog.conf to make sure it doesn't contain a line like 'kern.* /dev/console'. If that doesn't work, try starting your klogd with the switch '-c 3' redhat /etc/init.d/syslog, start function start() { echo -n $"Starting system logger: " daemon syslogd $SYSLOGD_OPTIONS RETVAL=$? echo echo -n $"Starting kernel logger: " daemon klogd $KLOGD_OPTIONS -c 3 echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/syslog return $RETVAL } ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Agnelli" <george@mattandgeorge.com> To: <netfilter@lists.netfilter.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 4:41 PM Subject: Log output going to screen > Does anyone know why my logs are occasionally being dumped to screen as well > as to the messages file?
