I've got syslog trapping going to a local Unix host.  In the syslog file,
I started getting messages like:


May 30 20:55:05 cisco.acs.unt.edu 353597:  BF: buffer in list, PC=5D294, ptr=A5FC0
May 30 20:55:05 cisco.acs.unt.edu 353598:  Process= "Novell SAP", pid= 17, level= 0
May 30 20:55:05 cisco.acs.unt.edu 353599:  BF: buffer in list, PC=5D294, ptr=9D238
May 30 20:55:05 cisco.acs.unt.edu 353600:  Process= "Novell SAP", pid= 17, level= 0
May 30 20:55:06 cisco.acs.unt.edu 353601:  BF: buffer in list, PC=5D294, ptr=A5CDC
May 30 20:55:07 cisco.acs.unt.edu 353602:  Process= "Novell SAP", pid= 17, level= 0



soon after I turned on Novell routing between our wide-area network router and
another router on the other end of a fractional T1 line.

Two questions to the net:

1: What is the significance of these messages?  Does "BF" stand for "BUFFER
   FULL"? 

2: According to the operators on the Unix system I'm sending this to, all these
   messages are also being sent to the /dev/console, making it unuseable for
   any kind of work. (these messages are more or less a steady stream)  Here's
   the entry from the /etc/syslog.conf file:

local7.debug					/home/cc/sy11/syslog/unt.routers
   
   How do I fix it so NONE of these messages ever gets sent to the console?


Thanks in advance for any help.
