Hello!
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.
