Shorewall users - Mar 2002 - syslog question

Hi everyone. I''m trying to get syslog to stop sending logging info to
the all of the ttys, as it makes doing anything on the box near
impossible with the firewall running.

I did a man syslog.conf, and then looked in the /etc/syslog.conf. I
commented out the xconsole stuff, and uncommented the part where he
(joey) says he likes to output to /dev/tty8 (which is what I want to do
as well). It works inasmuch as it sends the data to /dev/tty8 - but it
keeps sending it to every other tty as well! I do not want to be a pain,
but could someone _please_ send me a copy of their /etc/syslog.conf that
enables the turning off of the logging to the tty1-7, so I can get some
work done with the firewall on!

Thanks,
Chris

dmesg -n1 should help.
