Can anyone post a link, to a good howto, how to:

- turn off logging to console
- turn off logging to files [/var/log/messages]
- turn off all logging

Reason: because Lenny is not on a normal HDD, so i don't want to write
to often. And i don't need any logging on it.

Thank you!

/etc/init.d/rsyslog stop
chmod -x /etc/init.d/rsyslog

is that enough? or the system logs somewhere else?

chmod -x is not the proper way to disable a startup service. I recommend
using sysv-rc-conf, which has an easy-to-use interface.

Not all applications use syslog and will need to be disabled on a
per-application basis.

That should do it, but it is a slightly hackish way of doing it.

Another (IMHO better) way of doing it is to modify the contents of
/etc/syslog.conf (or /etc/rsyslogd.conf?) so that only things that you
are truly interested in get logged - you're bound to want to want
e.g. kernel oops's, OOM killer events logged I guess. You can also
use this to send all the system logging information to another system
if needed.

Alternatively, you could mount /var/log as tmpfs, so it writes to RAM
instead of to disk.
