redirect “SU: from root to macuser at /dev/tty??” to /dev/null 1

[MoshiachNow]

Is there a way to get the above message off the terminal - to ,say,/dev/null ?

I have a script ran by a crontab avery minute - it fills up the terminal screen ...

Thanks

Sorry,
message “SU: from root to macuser at /dev/tty??” is a part
of syslogd.
What does it look like file /etc/syslog.conf ?

Sorry,it's actually :

*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;user.none /dev/console
*.err;kern.debug;daemon,auth.notice;mail.crit;user.none /usr/adm/messages
*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err;user.none operator
*.alert;user.none root
*.emerg;user.none *
user.alert /usr/adm/messages
lpr.debug;lpr.info;lpr.warning /usr/adm/messages

I guess it's in the first line: auth.notice messages get put on /dev/console

if you modify that line to

*.err;kern.debug;user.none /dev/console

and run

refresh -s syslogd

you'll get rid of the lines on your console. I noticed that auth.notice messages are logged to /usr/adm/messages also, so no harm in removing them from /dev/console I would assume...



HTH,

Ok.

Have changed the syslog to :

*.err;kern.debug;;user.none /dev/console

and refreshed as advised.still get:

SU 06/29 12:31 + tty?? root-sciroot
SU 06/29 12:32 + tty?? root-sciroot
SU 06/29 12:33 + tty?? root-sciroot
SU 06/29 12:34 + tty?? root-sciroot

*.err;kern.debug;;user.none /dev/console

replace for test

*.err;kern.debug /dev/console

[MoshiachNow]

*.err;kern.debug /dev/console

Still the same ...Maybe the below line is related ?

*.alert;user.none root
