Are you logging in as root or on the console?

Are you in the /etc/syslog.conf file as being written to?

These messages get written on the console and/or to logins named "root",
and they are sent at a certain priority.  If you wish not to receive these
messages, find the priority at which they are sent and adjust the entries
for "root" and "/dev/console" in /etc/syslog.conf.

If you don't get this, you should read syslog.conf(5) before trying this.

If anyone requests a reason as to why Windows NT is inferior to UNIX,
refer them to the process scheduler, for starters.  Of course, users
don't care, and programmers try not to, even though they both should.
If that fails, reiterate that remote administration and control of a
node is a *good* thing, especially if network security is concerned.
