Hide harmless kernel messages from console

[dirk.kleinschmidt@…]

Hello,

When I'm running the my firewall (build from the blfs-book) all log-messages are posted to /var/log/kern.log and to the active console. To avoid kernel messages that are non-critical to be displayed on console I recommend to replace "loadproc klogd" with "loadproc klogd -c 1" in $rc_base/init.d/sysklogd.

This is not only a problem of the firewall itself but those kernel messages also appear when the network cable is disconnected from the network-card. In my eyes those informal messages are best stored in the logfiles.

The values for the parameter "-c" can be found in /usr/include/linux/kernel.h. Search for KERN_EMERG to see the values (0-7) for this parameter.
