syslog messages flooding the console

[John Magolske <listmail@b79.net>]

After a recent `aptitude dist-upgrade` I'm getting syslog messages
flooding the console, pages & pages of "Asset Found" stuff like:

Message from syslogd@mymachine at Sep 23 13:46:11 ...
... Asset Found:  IP Address - 16.20.3.0 / MAC Address - 0:00:00:00:00:00#012[*]
Asset Found:  IP Address - 26.20.3.0 / MAC Address - 0:00:00:00:00:00#012[*]
Asset Found:  IP Address - 34.20.3.0 / MAC Address - 0:00:00:00:00:00#012[*] ...

In the past when issues like this came up I edited /etc/sysctl.conf
and un-commented the kernel.printk line like so:

    # Uncomment the following to stop low-level messages on console
    kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3

then reloaded with:

    sysctl -p

which did the trick...until now. So I also tried (as root):

    dmesg -n 1
    echo "dmesg -n 1" >> /etc/init.d/rc.local

Also tried "kernel.printk=1" per the following:

> Put "kernel.printk=1" in /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf.
>
>> Does this mean that the messages were not coming via systemd?
>>
>>> They were coming from the kernel onto the console. systemd(-journald)
>>> was/is logging them.

All to no avail...still those "Asset Found" messages barfed all over
the screen from time to time. Any suggestions as to how this might be
fixed?

This is on Debian Sid, and I do have systemd-shim installed.

Regards,

John
