The reason is quite simple:
I am a kernel developer and sometimes ssh into my machine in
several ssh sessions, many times during work sessions I monitor the
kernel log by tail -f /var/log/messages, and any clutter of text
simply distracts me and is not needed as I am working in an isolated
LAN in a LAB, there is no outside access and no risk of penetration.
I am sure there is a way to avoid this messages.
Any ideas anyone?
regards,
Kevin
Please don't top post - it is confusing to read posts and replies out of
order.
Instead of `tail -f /var/log/messages` use `journalctl -kf`. "-k"
filters to only kernel messages. If you want to see more, add more to
the filter.

Hey Kevin,
I'm curious - why? I've found these messages to be very useful when
troubleshooting or auditing remote connection attempts. If you're
looking at the logs and only want to see messages from a specific
service, you can simply filter based on your needs at the time, ie
`journalctl --since today --unit NetworkManager`.
