Greetings, all!

We would like to run the X display manager but have a problem.  A "feature"
of a file system we use is that it displays adjustments it makes to time and
other extraneous messages to /dev/console, even when noone is logged in, thus
cluttering up the nice screen that xdm is supposed to greet you with.

I would like to redirect this information to a file, preferably /dev/null.
Has anyone out there hacked at xdm or have a program not needing an active
terminal to deal with, which could do this for me.  Any help would be
appreciated!!!
