Subject: arpwatch is flooding the console with messages

I am a relatively new user of FreeBSD, and UNIX in general. I compiled the
kernel for bpf support, and created the /dev/bpf0.

Arpwatch is working, I am getting mail messages and seeing messages logged
to /var/log/messages.

My problem is that the messages appearing in /var/log/messages are also
appearing on the console.

Is there any way to prevent arpwatch from writing its messages to the
console?

Thank you for helping a FreeBSD newbie.

Dave Costa
