Annoying Messages

[jayallenaugen]

I'm using Linux Mandrake 8.0, and whenever I'm in the CLI I get annoying messages constantly ... such as

NET: 1 Message Suppressed
NET: 5 Messages Suppressed

etc. :confused:

This make using the CLI almost impossible. Does anyone know how to turn off these messages?

Thanks in advance.

Look in /etc/syslog.conf and see if any of the entrys are being logged to /dev/console. If they are then give them a file in /var/log or else put a # in front of that line to stop the console logging.

Also if that was the problem then you have to restart syslog like so:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart
