Hi Vaibhav,

Try /etc/rsyslog.conf. However you should be using
/proc/sys/kernel/printk to really configure printk.

Hi Ramesh,

As I mentioned /etc/syslog.conf is not there on my system. Could you please
tell me if the name has changed for the file in 2.6 kernel ? Also, does
/proc/sys/kernel/printk provides for the same level of control ?

Syslog is a user space program, that collects the kernel messages.
So if you don't have /etc/syslog.conf on your system, it likely just
means that you don't have a standard installation of the syslog program,
which can have different reasons. AFAIK, syslog has been replaced by
rsyslog or syslog-ng on modern desktop linux distros.

BTW, Ramesh told you to try /etc/rsyslog.conf (note the 'r'), not
/etc/syslog.conf.
