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 AFAIK, syslog has been replaced by rsyslog or syslog-ng on modern desktop linux distros.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. HTH, Jonathan Neuschäfer
