Where is /etc/syslog.conf (described in man syslog.conf). Here is what
I use to catch all syslog messages on tty12, and pppd/chat traffic on
tty11:
*.* /dev/tty12
daemon,local2.* /dev/tty11
daemon,local2.* /var/log/ppp
# to catch only kernel messages to tty8:
kern.* /dev/tty8
Probably the file /etc/syslog.conf has some examples too if you can't
make sense of the man page or don't have it handy.
