hi,
that's bullsh*! it depends what you want have the syslogd printing on your
console. as a default under Solaris root get's alerts
on every tty, and a bunch of other stuff on the system console
(/dev/sysmsg). normally you wnat this feature also to be enabled under
Linux which is very useful, not only for emergency management if your
machines are located in a data center. but don't use anything below
the warning priority :-)
