I have a RedHat 9 box, and this problem haunted me for MONTHS.....
The way I found to fix it (Thanks to Bryan - bryanp@xxxxxxxx) was to modify the syslog in /etc/sysconfig/
The man page says that anything UNDER the given number will be shown on the console, but I've found that anything equal to the number or below will spew to the console, so I added -c 3 (instead of 4 as man suggests) to the KLOGD_OPTIONS line:
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-x -c 3"
I also changed the syslog file in /etc/rc.d/init.d just for good measure.
My console logging has since stopped.

Hey guys,
Not a killer, but I get all the iptable log messages to /dev/console. I can not find where to control this. I checked /etc/syslog.conf, but kernal messages was turned off (in fact if I turn kernal logging on I get duplicate messages to the console). I also did man on iptables, but I do not see any reference to logging to /dev/console
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
