Mandrake uses:
local1.* -/var/log/explanations
*.* /dev/tty12
and IPCop uses:
*.* /dev/tty12
Many of us log into /dev/tty1 on a regular basis, and if your graphical
login fails, you will end up at tty1 after you change your init level. I
don't want all the informational messages over-writing my attempt to try to
figure out what went wrong with my graphical login. Also, tty12 does not
have the resources assigned to it to make it a login screen. tty12 is a
much better place for the messages.
