I have renewly installed a RH server , now it is very strange that one of user id will receive the system error messages ( the messages is the same as /var/log/messages ) , the user use the telnet to connect the server , and the messages will be pop to the user screen at around every 10 minuts , could suggest what is the problem ? thx

which user id ?
I think it's a security alert features added by RH server...(OpenBSD have this too)...
Check your /etc/syslog.conf...and should be a line matching `/dev/console', uncomment it should do the tricks.
perhaps, some added security features by RH server...
check the `cron job', `swatch' or any security alerts utilities isn't undesirely running on your system...
Which `UID' it prompt the `/var/log/messages', does it prompt for others user too? Check to see if the particular `UID' is reserved for some services or purpose.
feel free to post your `/etc/syslog.conf'.
p/s: since it's every 10 mins, I believe it's some sort of security alert ulitities.
