Sure, and I agree that you should have the choice to see these messages at the verbosity you desire, and ia64 has the capability to control things in this way. What I disagree with is spitting out log messages about such things happening in the kernel. Because that is remotely triggerable. As Alan mentioned, if I can send packets to your ia64 box I can make it spew system log messages. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
