BSDI console & annoying messages

[shaggy112]

Hey....got a quick question.

I am using BSDI and whenever I am at the console I get what looks to be the messages that go into the messages log file on my console. This is only on the console, and not from a shell.

What is doing this, and how do i stop it?

Thanks

I have not used BSDI before, but I believe that would be syslog sending warnings/errors/alerts to the console.

Edit your /etc/syslogd.conf (or something similar to that) and send the syslog daemon's pid a -HUP, or just restart it.
