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 changed from previous "old" RH versions (ie, RH 7.3) because syslog.conf in all machines here are identical. However the other machines don't get hit on the console (except for *.emerg of course). Something's different and I have yet to find what it is. I hope your house guest gets well.
