I understood that. At boot time, named cannot write to syslogd, so it
displays messages (logged at daemon.info, I believe) on the console.
If I restart named later, the messages do not go go the console.
Thus, I am led to believe that the "only" clause is being honored.

If the default athena syslog.conf file logs the message to your
console, adding a line to it isn't going to make it less likely to
appear in your console. I'm not sure why you and Dan brought up this
detail; I get the impression that I'm missing something.
