Any idea on setting in syslog.conf (or wherever) that would cause all syslog messages to print to the console? Thanks
 
Add a line for each type of alert you want sent to the system console like this:

*.info /dev/console
*.alert /dev/console
*.emerg /dev/console

Or if you want the message to go to a specific user on _any_ console try this:

*.info root,yourusernamehere,somebodyelse

you can specify multiple users by using a comma in-between...

Note that you can use more than one line for each type of message... like this:

*.info /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.info /dev/console
*.info root,yoursusernamehere,somebodyelse

Hope this helps!
