Over the years we have found that customers will react to any message in the SYSLOG file. That is, you get the least grief by having messages appear there when you want the customer/administrator to take an action. If they are not to take an action, then don't show the message. For debugging, we have used schemes which don't raise the debug data to the "normal system administration" procedures. Such as a private kernel logging buffer, dumped together with a kernel core dump, or viewable by a kernel debugger if you know where to look, etc. But not part of normal documented system admin procedures. Of course for debugging we like good data... FYI, Rich
