You should have one successful log message for every log message
indicating the number of suppressed log messages.  Since your
/var/log/messages does not contain the successful log messages,
your syslogd must be configured to send them elsewhere.

Note that the number of suppressed log messages is always logged
at KERN_WARNING, but the actual message could be anything.  I
would suspect that the actual log messages are KERN_DEBUG, and
your syslogd is configured to ignore them
