Or edit /etc/syslog.conf - file:

find following line in it:

*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;user.none		/dev/console

    and replace it with

*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;user.none		/dev/null

    if you have following line in same file
    
*.err;kern.debug;daemon,auth.notice;mail.crit;user.none	/var/adm/messages

    you can allways find same output in /var/adm/messages  - file
    
Remember to save file without CR at end of lines.


I found this information from Jo's site long time ago ;-)
