Have a look at man pages for syslog and syslog.conf. In particular, you'll need to edit /etc/syslog.conf to prevent output to multiple ttys. (You'll see messages in duplicate because, by default, root receives a copy of many messages, such as wheel auths, and so does ttyv0. Disable as many as you like, or reroute to appropriate log files.
