One last question on this topic -- I had removed the syslog.conf file from the toasters yesterday to stop the messages, but it kept logging anyway. If it was a unix box, I'd just send a HUP signal to the syslogd, but how does a toaster know the file has changed and needs to reconfigure (or that the file is missing)?

It checks the file every so often (every 30 seconds, IIRC), and updates automagically.

And, just the clarify, if you remove the file entirely I think it just falls back to the "default" configuration. It would take an empty syslog file to eliminate most messages (but I think some would still get logged anyway).
