Inspired by recent ${SUBJ} related (not too close though) discussion on -current, I'm willing to ask you guys the following question: why do I always get whatever is logged by syslog (or even bypassing it) on my /dev/ttyv0? Doesn't it make more sense to write logs to /dev/console, or even not writing them at all? I mean, should not I be allowed to take complete control of whatever is going to be logged anywhere in my box? It seems that it doesn't really matter what I write in /etc/syslog.conf, regardless to any contents of it, I will get messages on /dev/ttyv0 no matter what. I suppose it should be easily fixable by mocking around with source code, I don't want to start digging into it without prior check with you all :) Tnx. -- Regards, Alexey P.S. Sorry for x-posting, I don't really know what is the proper place for such a question. Still, if you happen to be on -questions and answering this, cc me please, since I am not the member of -questions mailling. Thank you.
