turn off error notifications
I'm using NetBSD 6.1. When there is an error (f.ex. network card inaccessible), a notification about it appears on console marked with green color, even when I'm typing login/password or working in 'vi'. How do I turn off these annoying notifications?

There may be several ways to deal with the messages:
1) Turn off and ignore Portmap messages FAQ 2) Address the hardware issue. My attempts to use NetBSD with an atheros wireless network card generate frequent error messages regarding the device timing out. Setting Code:
hw.ath0.txintrperiod=1 |
|

From syslog.conf(5)
Code:
# Log all kernel messages, authentication messages of # level notice or higher and anything of level err or # higher to the console. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none /dev/console

Thank you everyone for your advice! Sadly, neither recipe helped. The main message I'm getting is the following one which comes when my laptop has no LAN cable:
alc0: wathcdog timeout (missed link) I commented both lines in /etc/syslog.conf: #*.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none /dev/console #*.notice;auth.debug root and nothing happened, the messages keep on appearing. I also put a line "hw.alc0.txintrperiod=1" to /etc/sysctl.conf, nothing changed either. Of course I always can switch to a user account and enjoy myself there. But I'm using this NetBSD installation mostly for hacking the system (it's not my main OS) and sometimes stay under root for quite a while, so I need to know what's going wrong. |

Thank you, this seems to be the only way to go so far. These notifications keep coming on tty1 no matter whether I'm logged as root or user. The other terminals are safe from it indeed, be it root or user.
