How much shoud be in /var/log/messages

["Jay Barbee" <sysjyb@adm105.adm.louisville.edu>]

I don't typically remember /var/log/messages being as empty (mostly MARK 
entries).  I have the following entry in syslog.conf:

*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
        auth,authpriv.none;\
        cron,daemon.none;\
        mail,news.none          -/var/log/messages

...that is the only play "messages" is defined.  My syslog is pretty lenghty, and 
I have several entries being printed to /dev/tty9:

daemon,mail.*;\
        *.=notice;*.=warn       /dev/tty9

...This is probably a non issue, I just remember when my /var/log/messages 
was basically a data dump for everything.  Anything look abnormal?
