Mike:
Just on a hunch, check your /etc/rsyslog.conf file and look for:
# Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. kern.* /dev/console
If you see that, comment it out, reload rsyslog and that should take care of it.
Hi Mike
yep What i did was set up a dedicated syslog server with a big /var and redirected everything below crit to that instead. Needed to run a lot of debug from a cisco router after experiencing an odd/intermittent pppoA problem so it made sense.
