send messages to console

send messages to console

[rspr]

Lawson, 

I recall you telling us how to send all [kernel?] messages to the console, so that when you do left alt+f8 if I recall correctly, would provide you with a lot of real-time information. 

Would you refresh my memory? What do I need to write, and where?

I am running Debian 3, rel. 2 on a Dell Latitude LM laptop with a Pentium, 8 gb hdd, and 74 Mb RAM.

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.
