Have a look at your /etc/syslog.conf. It contains the line:

*.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none;mail.crit        /dev/console

If you remove the field "auth.notice" the messages will go away.

Oh yeah, you have to sighup syslogd to have it reread its
configuration: kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid` after the change.
