Suppress kvm-associated disconnect/reconnect messages

[MMacD]

I use a simple but sturdy KVM with a wireless mouse and keyboard. Every time I come back after switching to another port on the kvm, I'm greeted with a dozen disconnect/reconnect messages for all the affected devices. Is there a simple way to suppress them? I notice that they don't appear except at the console.

The simplest way is to simply disable console (error) messages completely. Edit /etc/syslog.conf and disable this line:

*.err;kern.warning;auth.notice;mail.crit                /dev/console

Then restart syslogd(8).

For some reason, that didn't work. I thought there might be something later in the file that re-enabled it, but not so.
