What is causing "ifconfig -a" to be written to syslog?

Apr 28 11:17:16 dcncsrvrmsd44q syslog: ifconfig -a

This is written to syslog on multiple servers 2-3 times per hour. My syslog.conf contains:
*.debug /syslog/messages
 
the config. you have in syslog.conf forces the most descriptive behaviour for logging (debug).
So each loggable event will be logged .....
Try to use info instead of debug
