[gentoo-user] Some log stuff shows up on text console after recent emerge

[gentoo-user] Some log stuff shows up on text console after recent emerge

[Walter Dnes]

  Any time I insert/remove a USB key, or when iptables has something to
say, it shows up on all text consoles, not just number 12.  This seems
to be happening after a recent update.  I'm running syslog-ng 3.0.6.  I
have not manually touched any config files.

  Searching through Google turned up answers for various other distros,
directing me to various config files that don't exist in Gentoo.  Here
is my config for syslog-ng.

@version: 3.0

options { 
        chain_hostnames(no); 
        stats_freq(43200); 
};

source src {
    unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(256));
    internal();
    file("/proc/kmsg");
};

destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };

destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };

log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };

The above line is meant to send messages to /dev/tty12.

Are you sure that your syslog-ng is reading the correct /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-
ng.conf ?

  The hardrive on my regular machine started making ominous clicking
sounds, so I've been setting up my backup machine the past couple of
days.  The backup doesn't seem to have this problem, but I'm catching up
on a world update.  We'll see what happens there.
