I changed this to:

!-named,dhclient
-xxx.xxx.xxx.230,xxx.xxx.xxx.231,xxx.xxx.xxx.232,xxx.xxx.xxx.233,xxx.xxx.xx=
x.234,xxx.xxx.xxx.235
*.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none;mail.crit        /dev/console
*.info;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,local7.none,mail.none  =20
/var/log/messages

Which seems to have done the trick. I hope it's not the wrong thing to do.

Just before I implemented this I was getting

syslogd: too many iov's (change code in libutil/ttymsg.c)

messages in /var/log/messages

Is there an easy way to fix this? I imagine it's to do with updating
syslogd and not some other stuff.

Thanks,

Amadeus
