Two questions:

1:
What controls all the messages that are displayed on the console (i.e.,
root login, failed logins, etc.) and is there a way to redirect that 
somewhere or turn it off??

2:
I've installed FreeBSD a few times on my machine at home and sometimes
telnet to it from my laptop, or even telnet locally and have never seen
this before--when it gives me a login prompt, I don't see the usual

FreeBSD/i386 (ttyp0)

login: 

but something like this:

 / (ttyp0)

login:

Really just an annoyance, but I can't figure out how it happened.  I
thought perhaps it was something in one of the terminal related files like
termcap or ttys but I haven't changed anything in those files (and then
again, I wouldn't know what to look for...)

Any ideas?

ER
