You could try looking at man klogd and the -c switch. If this looks like giving you a possible solution to your problem you will need to alter /etc/init.d/klogd. The line you want probably says KLOGD="" at present. Altering it to KLOGD="-c 6" may be what you want. The archived bug reports for klogd should provide you with an explanation to give to your friends and relieve your embarrassment. Brian.
