Happy holidays to all!

I can't seem to find anything to tell me exactly how to disable logging to the console. The problem is that ALL messages logged to /var/log/messages are also displayed on the console. For anyone that has experienced this, it can be very annoying.

Below is my /etc/sysconfig/syslog and /etc/syslog.conf files. I've compared them to other servers but I haven't found any differences between these files. I'm either missing something in the files or I'm looking in the wrong places.

Any help would be appreciated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

cat /etc/sysconfig/syslog
# Options to syslogd
# -m 0 disables 'MARK' messages.
# -r enables logging from remote machines
# -x disables DNS lookups on messages recieved with -r
# See syslogd(8) for more details
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0"
# Options to klogd
# -2 prints all kernel oops messages twice; once for klogd to decode, and
# once for processing with 'ksymoops'
# -x disables all klogd processing of oops messages entirely
# See klogd(8) for more details
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-x"
#
SYSLOG_UMASK=077
# set this to a umask value to use for all log files as in umask(1).
# By default, all permissions are removed for "group" and "other".

cat /etc/syslog.conf
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages

# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* -/var/log/maillog


# Log cron stuff
cron.* /var/log/cron

# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg *

# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.* /var/log/boot.log
*.* *

Try 'dmesg -nlevel', where level is a priority as explained in syslog.h (basically int 0 through 7)?
