You are right, since I killed syslog and it still came up. Is there a way to restirct /dev/console to only ttyv0 or something? That would be perfect. I even tried somethings to the affect of: # cat < /dev/console > /dev/null & but they did not do the trick. I could have rm'ed /dev/console, and linked it to a real file, but that would be a bit too harsh. I would think there would be something in either /etc/ttys, or possibly the syscons source code.
