It's what is defined as console at boot-up that got sent all debug message... This one is usually set by the kernel or ulog upon booting - and on the boot-prompt, you tell the kernel where to send the log-messages. By default it goes to console. I'm using it actually quite heavily on my servers -

Thanks for the reply Tom. All mine show log level 3 and I have kern.* sent to /var/log/kernel.log and nothing sent to console, but these are still sent to console which is strange. I'm sure I'll figure it out somewhere down the road. It's all about syslog.conf I know. Something must have
