[ale] Redirect printk() level 4

[Chris Fowler]

I'm using syslog from BusyBox 0.60.  I just want to clean up the console
messages at boot.  I might have to modify printk

This is what I did on my /etc/syslogd.conf to remove a lot of messages from
console..
----------------# begin of syslog.conf #------------------------------------

#  /etc/syslog.conf	Configuration file for syslogd.
#
#			For more information see syslog.conf(5)
#			manpage.

#
# First some standard logfiles.  Log by facility.
#

auth,authpriv.*			/var/log/auth.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none		-/var/log/syslog
#cron.*				/var/log/cron.log
daemon.*			-/var/log/daemon.log

# Logging for the mail system. Split it up so that

# Some `catch-all' logfiles.

	news.none;mail.none	-/var/log/debug
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
	auth,authpriv.none;\

# console I usually leave idle.
#
#daemon,mail.*;\

#	*.=debug;*.=info;\
#	*.=notice;*.=warn	/dev/tty8

# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility.  To use it,
# you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option:
#
#    $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...]
#
# NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a reasonably
#      busy site..
#
daemon.*;mail.*;\
	news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\
	*.=debug;*.=info;\
	*.=notice;*.=warn	|/dev/xconsole

local2.*		-/var/log/ppp.log
------------------------# end of syslog.cong
#----------------------------------

As you can see, I do not have any messages coming on console.. however,
during boot up,
the messages are piped thru klogd (thru printk).

plus, anything that is 'echoed' out will not be caught..
