Re: beginner's question about KERN_ALERT (it does not work)

["Michael R. Hines" <mhines@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Your syslogd settings may be wrong.

klogd (a part of syslogd) is started with options that indicate which debug 
level to use and will only allow console messages at or more important than 
that level.

For redhat, the configuration file is /etc/sysconfig/syslog (or something 
to that effect).

Man klogd for more info.
