The answer is in /etc/syslog.conf. You must be sending kernel messages to /dev/console. Try changing it to /dev/tty5 or some other virtual terminal so you can see the messages when you are not using the machine and just switch to a different vt when you need to log on. After modifying syslog.conf, restart the syslog deamon: /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart Have fun, -- _ _ _ | || | ___| |___ ___ _ __ __ _ | || |_ / __| / __| / _ \| '__/ _` | |__ _| (__| \__ \| (_) | | | (_| | |_| \___|_|___(_)___/|_| \__, | Dan Dofton, Automation Asst. |___/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (607)723-8236e313 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
