I think that's going a bit too far :), but here's an idea of my
syslog.conf:
- Have every single syslog message go to /var/log/messages
- Have every single syslog message go to /dev/tty10, so I can keep a track
of what's going on that VC - very useful for monitoring purposes.
- Have emergency messages broadcast to all users
