B.1. Disable logging to console
Before attempting to upload or download files it is a good
idea to prevent messages from appearing on the console. These
messages will corrupt files moved using cat and
will cause Xmodem and similar protocols
to take much, much longer.
Alter your system's configuration to give
klogd the -c 1
parameter, inhibiting the display of kernel messages directly to
the console. Kernel messages will still go to the system
logger.
Also modify the system logger's configuration not to send
messages to the console. Edit
/etc/syslog.conf, altering lines sending
output to /dev/console.
Send this output to a file instead.
