I have a cisco PIX firewall that was set up to send syslog messages to a Solaris box.

I think the relevant lin in /etc/syslog.conf is the following:

local6.err /var/log/pixlog

When I get on the console of the Solaris box, it's flooded with the ALLOW/DENY syslog messages from the PIX, making the console unusable.

Is there anyway to stop the PIX syslog messages from displaying on the Solaris console, but keep it going to /var/log/pixlog?

There's no entry regarding /dev/console in /etc/syslog.conf at all.

Never mind. Got it. Have to comment out the following buggers:

*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /dev/sysmsg
user.err /dev/sysmsg
