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.
