=>
=>add the line in the file /etc/syslogd.conf:
=>
=>*.*                           /dev/tty8
=>
=>This will append all the messages to console tty8. To do selective
=>logging, replace *.* with mail.*, *.info or anything like this.

You would also need to killall -HUP syslogd :) for the changes to take
effect immediately.
