This sends syslog messages to the console. If you su to root on a virtual tty, you're not on the console normally. To get the messages anyways put the following line in /etc/syslog.conf: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit root > > When I login remotely, and become root, I would like authentication errors > and such to display on my terminal.
