named keeps popping up my console to tell me things like:
Jun 23 12:29:30 named[133]: "aol.com IN MX" points to a CNAME (a.mx.aol.com)
and
Jun 23 12:37:06 named[133]: Lame server on '133.44.80.192.in-addr.arpa' (in '44.80.192.in-addr.arpa'?): [140.174.77.20].53 'FAIRY.TLG.NET': learnt (A=204.156.128.1,NS=192.33.4.12)
These don't really need to go to my console. Logging them to
/var/adm/messages would be fine.
It looks like bind 4.9.3 (which solaris 2.5.1 uses) does an openlog
with LOG_CONS. The openlog manpage implies that this only causes it to
write to the console if it can't write to syslogd, but that doesn't
seem to be what actually happens, because if I tell syslogd to log
daemon.* to /var/adm/messages, I get the syslog both in the file and
on my console.
Any suggestions on how to get it to shut up without recompiling?
