Bug#132873: klogd: could you be more specific ?
Thanks very much. OK. I see... so it should probably be a request filed on procps (which provides sysctl) in order to have /etc/sysctl.conf changed in order to have something like : kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 by default in there. I doubt most users would need to have less important messages than errors displayed on the console. I'll file a bug-report on procps.

That's what syctl is for and not klogd. Could you be more specific ? I couldn't find information about syctl :( I also second Benjamin's request. I think it would be great if klogd could be configured without having to change the init script.
