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.
