800	Hide harmless kernel messages from console	dirk.kleinschmidt@…	lfs-book@…	"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."	defect	closed	lowest		Book	CVS	normal	invalid
