'allo,

     I've just recently gotten NetBSD 2.0 installed onto my Ultra2
SPARC.  So far, things
are going fine.  I used to have 1.6.2, but ended up using Debian Linux
for a while on
the system.  I've now completely wiped out Linux and there is only NetBSD :)

     I've got X11 installed, but am having a problem in that all my
xterms are getting flooded
with system messages.  xconsole on the other hand, does not show
anything except for
the console login.  This is behaviour that I have never seen on any
platform or system
that I have worked with before (and I've worked with a lot).

    Changing syslogd.conf hasn't helped either. Yes I did restart the
syslogd daemon
after I made the changes.

    Any thoughts or ideas on how to get around this ?  This happens
whether I am running
X11 or not.  It just impossible to work with NetBSD while this is going on.


cheers,

       mehul
