Change the /etc/syslog.conf and reduce the level of severity or disable the messaging of some services completely. There is a man page about this config file and there is a template file named /etc/syslog_conf_template (or so ...).

b.t.w. The "syslog(d)", "syslog.conf" man pages at ONTAP are in my humble opinion not the best. Have a look at the syslog.conf man page of any other unix derivate. It might help you more. :-)
