Append error message to the log

[peterchu]

In my RH system , there are error message append to the /var/log/messages , however , part of these message will pop to my login session ( I use telent to login to server ) , I also check the /var/mail/my_loginid is empty , could suggest how can I forbid the message pop to my login session or append these messages to /var/mail/my_loginid ? thx

These messages are not supposed to pop up into a telnet session at all.

Check the environment with env command

stty -a

See whats going on with that setup.

You may have a problem with pty psuedo terminal devices.

I would be interested to know if this happens if you log in with ssh (Secure Shell/openssh)

What do these popup messages look like?
