mesg says it is already n.
setterm -msglevel x produces an error ("klogctl error: Unknown error ...") when
I execute it as a regular user, but it seems to work when I run it as root.
I looked for, but could not find, a way to determine my current/default settings
for the setterm variables (esp. -msg and -msglevel).
Finally, is the help in error for setterm msglevel? It says that -msglevel 0 turns
on all logging (which sounds right) and 8 "will print all kernel messages" (which sounds
the same as the description of 0, and wrong).
